Recently, we have heard about the news of Scotty McCreery finally tying the knot with his longtime girlfriend, Gabi Dugal. They have a beautiful love story that most people hope to have. This time around another country singer has proposed to his longtime girlfriend. But, their story is not similar to Scotty and Gabi McCreery. In this couple’s story, there is a little twist before they ended up together.

When you found the person you want to spend the rest of your life with, no matter how tough life may be, everything is easier when you are with them, just like Brett Young and Taylor Mills. The longtime couple is finally engaged. Brett Young popped the question last February. The two have been together since they were in college.

Brett Young’s Proposal

Brett proposed to Taylor Mills at the Graduate Hotel which is near his alma mater, Ole Miss. He told People that while they were having dinner, the staff of the hotel prepared a romantic setting at the hotel for Brett’s proposal.

The Ring

The ring that Brett gave to Taylor was a custom-made ring that he designed together with David Kodner. The ring also contained the initials of Brett and his fiancée.

How did Brett Young and Taylor Mills Meet?

Before Brett became a country star, he was attending college at Ole Miss or The University of Mississippi, while Taylor was attending college at Arizona State University. The two met in Arizona that is why the Mercy singer said that they might likely get married in Arizona.

However, it wasn’t easy for the two. Brett and Taylor’s love story wasn’t a perfect one just like everyone. After graduation, they moved to Los Angeles together. It was a beautiful six years together until Brett had to move to Nashville that they decided to split up. There was no bad reason for the breakup. Brett thinks that it was just bad timing that is why things didn’t work out. He said that most of the songs he wrote on his first album were about Taylor. Of course, they have been together for six years, and the pain he felt needed to be expressed. Therefore, he found a way to do it by writing songs.

Wedding Plans

Now everything seems to be perfect, even the timing, after a couple of years away from each other they still ended up together. The exact date of the wedding hasn’t been set or announced yet, but it will probably happen sooner. In an interview by ET during the CMA Award show last April, the couple was together. Taylor said that it depends on Brett’s schedule because he is busy touring with Thomas Rhett and he’s also promoting his music. They want a fall wedding so perhaps they will get married around November. Brett even said that it could be a little early November so that they can have an outdoor wedding and it wouldn’t be that cold.

On an interview earlier this month by the Tennessean, Brett Young said that his Fiancée wants him to sing during their wedding. He felt more nervous than he was on stage because he has to perform something unique, something that fits their love story. Brett is not sure if he is going to write a song for his wedding or is his going to do a cover. “In Case You Didn’t Know” which became a big hit when it came out was used in almost every wedding, but Brett said that it’s not the song he is going to sing. He doesn’t want to use the song because he didn’t write the song for her, or the story of the song wasn’t theirs. Therefore, we definitely will expect a new song from Brett on his wedding day.

Who is Brett Young?

Brett Young is a country pop singer and songwriter. Young was born on March 23, 1981, in Anaheim, Orange County, California. Young has been singing when he was in high school.
