Thanks Blake, now let’s have a highball

So how did Blake Shelton (The Baby) ask his longtime girlfriend to marry him?

Blake and his lady, Kaynette (Kat) Williams, were having a slumber party one day/night in the early part of December, and he told her he was going out to buy some Christmas presents. But Blake actually went out to get the ring. “Of course, I had to buy a bunch of other crap to make it look like I really was Christmas shopping,” Blake told me.

The next morning, Blake presented her with the ring.

“Then we had friends over and drank all day,” Blake said.

Get out the hankies. That was touching.

“Yep, it’s the kind of Oklahoma romance all always talk about.”
