Garth & Tricia -- engaged just in time to promote her new single!
Everyone suspects Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes's relationship is a publicity tool to promote their new movies coming out this summer.
Well, how about Tricia Yearwood conveniently being the subject of headline news stories when she was proposed to by Garth Brooks -- just when she's launching her first single in three years?
Although there have been false tabloid stories previously reporting that Garth and Tricia were marrying, you have to figure that after all this time the only reason they'd make their relationship more offiical would be if it would help their careers.
Since Garth has no career to speak of at this time, the pressure was certainly on Tricia's career to trigger either an announcement of an engagement or a sneaky fait accompli marriage (e.g., Kenny Chesney or John Kennedy Jr).
So surprise, surprise, along comes a press release announcing that Garth popped the question. See pictures here. P.S. Who knew Tricia Yearwood had a tattoo on her ankle?
Can the actual ceremony be far behind, especially since Ms. Yearwood has gotten herself back into fighting shape to promote her new record? Perfect time to swath yourself in confining bridal lace... And let's face it, based on her recent appearance singing at the CMT Awards and her music video, she's looking better than she ever has before. Quick, preserve that look in wedding photos! And Garth, judging by his appearance at the ACM's, still has to squeeze himself into his wranglers, but he probably will look just fine in a tux. Wanna bet he (unlike another recently married country hunk) will actually wear shoes to the ceremony?
Still, you'd think even though this will be marriage #3 for the Georgia girl, she probably would have prefered that Mr. Brooks didn't pop the question in such a public venue -- and even worse, in Bakersfield! There have been amazing country music stars who have come from Bakersfield, but no one in their right mind would call it a particularly romantic city. Come on, Garth, surely you've seen Tim McGraw and Faith Hill's "Let's Make Love" video shot in Paris -- that's where to take your sweetie and surprise her by getting down on bended knee.
In any event, here's the AP report:
Garth Brooks, Trisha Yearwood To Tie The Knot
POSTED: 5:21 am CDT May 26, 2005
BAKERSFIELD, Calif. -- Country star Garth Brooks popped the question Wednesday night to his longtime girlfriend Trisha Yearwood during a statue unveiling outside Buck Owens' Crystal Palace in Bakersfield.
The 43-year-old Brooks dropped to one knee and proposed to Yearwood before some 7,000 fans, who had gathered for the "Legends in Bronze" event. Yearwood said yes as the fans cheered.
Bigger-than-life statues of Brooks, Owens, Merle Haggard, Hank Williams Junior, Willie Nelson, Elvis Presley and four other country artists were dedicated in a ceremony.
Brooks' statue was the last to be unveiled at the ceremony, which honored country music legends.
Brooks has been married once before and has three children.
Yearwood has been married two times before and has no children of her own.

And to think they waited just long enough for the American public to forget that they were messing around while Garth was still married!!
Sheesh...I think I will pass on sending them a wedding card.
I wish the American public would all remember what he did to his first wife. He deserves the same!
