Brantley Gilbert Describes Proposal To Jana Kramer

02/01/2013
. (Radio.com) When Brantley Gilbert proposed earlier this month to his girlfriend of one year, fellow country artist Jana Kramer, he didn't do it just anywhere. He chose Nashville's famed Ryman Auditorium (home to the Grand Ole Opry for decades) as the setting.

Why the Ryman? As he told Heather Froglear and Kelli Green of Riverside, Calif. station KFRG during a video interview this week, the place has a special meaning for a few different reasons.

"We always said if it weren't for country music we never would have met," says Brantley.

"We met at the CMT Awards June 6 [in 2011], and I was actually going to propose to her on June 6. I told my mom about it and she let me in in a little information. She and my dad are divorced, and they had gotten married on June 6. And it's also doomsday. So I decided not to do it [on that day]."

"As you can see," he continues, "we kinda moved up the proposal. I couldn't wait." more.
