So ladies, another one's off the market and Jake Owen took himself off of it in a big, sweet way that screamed I love you to his longtime girlfriend, Lacey Buchanan. Jake proposed onstage during a concert Saturday night at the Citrus Bowl at Vero Beach High School, his alma mater.
While Jake was singing his hit "Don't Think I Can't Love You," Jake brought Lacey out for what fans and probably Lacey thought was a dance, until he got down on one knee and asked the question every girl wants to hear one day, "will you marry me". Problem was, he was missing one item that most proposals include, a ring, but it wasn't a problem for Lacey or the thousands of fans witnessing the moment. Jake asked "You're probably wondering where your ring is, right?". Then he said, in reference to his lyrics, "I just said I can't buy you a big diamond ring or a big old house on the hill, but I promise you I'll love you forever and ever and ever" and finished the song by holding Lacey, smiling and singing directly to her in between hugs and kisses.
According to People magazine, one fan in attendance said "He was talking about how he'd thrown his hat up on the fifty yard line during graduation and now he was here in front of friends and family, and it seemed like the most appropriate venue."
Lacey's appeared in Jake's "Barefoot Blue Jean Night" and "Eight Second Ride" videos.
Thanks to the fan who happened to catch the moment and posted it on Youtube. Sad for his female country fans, but looks like only one lady has his heart. Congratulations to Jake and Lacey!
