Miranda Lambert and Blake Shelton Now Engaged
Miranda Lambert and Blake Shelton, two much-loved country singer-songwriters, will join together in holy matrimony after a very long courtship. It's just like in 1996, when Tim McGraw and Faith Hill became the new George and Tammy. Just like in 1969, when George and Tammy had become the new Johnny and June, who'd married in 1968. Shelton proposed on Mother's Day in the woods near Tishimingo, Okla., after asking Lambert's dad, Rick, for his blessing. After she said yes to the proposal and the diamond-and-platinum ring, they celebrated with rum and Diet Sprite. This will be Lambert's first marriage and Shelton's second. Lambert told People.com that she "can love him the rest of my life and be happy and make him happy." Sounds like a country song.

Since Faith Hill was mentioned in this article, don’t forget about her divorce, engagement, unengagement, cheating with Alan Jackson and now married to Tim McGraw. She’s no SAINT.

Robin says:
jeff24 - If Alan’s wife can get over it, why can’t you? What’s done is done and life moves on. No one is the same person they were 5, 10, 15 or 20 years ago.
I’m pretty sure there are very few “saints” in the world. If there were more and someone mentioned their name, then someone else would surely come along and tell us all the bad things they ever did in life.
Remember John 8:7?
