Pickler engaged to songwriter
Wednesday, June 23, 2010 – Kellie Pickler is tying the knot. The singer announced Wednesday she is engaged to songwriter Kyle Jacobs.
Pickler said on her web site, "It turned out to be the most amazing day of my life. My whole world changed. We both feel like we got my grandmother's blessing." Pickler considers Jacobs's proposal a moment she hardly could have imagined. "I remember saying to Kyle, 'Baby it's like I'm dreaming - but if this isn't real, I'm going to be very upset!'"
On her Twitter page, Pickler wrote, " Yes, it's true. Can't wait to say "I DO!."
The couple met through friends about 2 1/2 years ago. The engagement occurred June 15 on a beach in Florida.
Jacobs has written songs for Pickler, Tim McGraw, Terri Clark , Trace Adkins and Vince Gill. Garth Brooks' More Than a Memory was penned by Jacobs.
