Lauren Alaina and her soon-to-be husband Cam Arnold made their red carpet debut at the 2023 People’s Choice Country Awards on Thursday (Sept. 28).
Arriving hand in hand, the couple graced the red carpet at the Grand Ole Opry House in Nashville, the same location where they had made their relationship public.
Alaina donned a fiery red dress complete with a fringe bottom while her fiancé opted for a more traditional look with a black suit jacket and white button-up shirt.
During a recent interview with ET Online, Alaina revealed that she and Arnold met at Crash My Playa in Mexico.
“We met in Mexico at the [all-inclusive concert vacation] Crash My Playa that Luke Bryan has every year. Luke Bryan brought us together,” Alaina recalled of the night she met her fiancé. “He’s friends with Luke’s niece and her husband, so he was backstage, and we were at the taco stand, and apparently I ate my tacos really fast, and he was like, ‘Nobody’s gonna take those tacos away from you!’”
“First thing he ever said to me. And that was when I knew,” she added while laughing.
After making small talk over tacos, Alaina says that the pair then exchanged digits. “I gave him my number, but he came home and told his best friend, ‘I met the woman I’m gonna marry,’” Alaina explained. “And I did not leave Mexico feeling that way, but he was right. I’m gonna marry him.”
“He is very funny. And hot!” Alaina gushed.
Even though the couple confirmed their relationship, they opted not to make their romance public until November 2022 when Alaina announced her engagement during her Grand Ole Opry performance.
“I was welcomed into this family, and it was a dream of mine as long as I can remember,” Alaina told the audience, referencing her 2022 Opry induction. “I didn’t think this year could get any better, [but Friday] I got asked into another family!”
“Everybody, this is my fiancé,” Alaina continued. “I told him he had to come out here, and we had to get a picture. So, we’re doing it because this is the circle, and I’m going to hold my hand up and do the thing. Make some noise for my future husband, everybody!”
Following her announcement at the Grand Ole Opry, Lauren Alaina took to social media to share the exciting news with her fans.
“BRIDE be dang’d, y’all. My best friend, @arnold.cam, asked me to marry him, and I announced it at my favorite place in the world, @opry,” she captioned. “I didn’t know happiness and excitement like this existed. I can’t wait to be Mrs. Cameron Scott Arnold. 💍 #Laurnold.”
Since announcing their engagement, Alaina and Arnold have taken several well-documented trips together overseas and showcase their love for each other throughout social media.
While the couple have yet to get married or reveal a wedding date, Lauren Alaina and Cam Arnold are preparing to say “I do” in the very near future.
