This young, rising country star really rose to the occasion when considering just how to propose to his girlfriend, Kourtney Kellar. Recreating the scene where they shared their first kiss, Bryant proposed to Kellar earlier this month. Of course, Kellar said yes.
Colton Swon
Colton Swon follows suit in creating a romantic setting for his proposal. It was all set before a movie that he was to attend with fiance Caroline Glaser. During the previews, Colton made sure that a homemade trailer showcasing clips of some of their best moments would air.
Dan Smyers
Just around two months after announcing their engagement, Dan Smyers and Abby Law were married in May. While their marriage came fast, it precedes a three and a half year dating period for the couple. Embracing their mutual love for rescue animals into their marriage, they asked friends and family to donate to Proverbs 12:10 animal shelter instead of buying items for a registry.

While they were already wed in 2014, Jerrod Nieman and his wife Morgan Petek renewed their vows this year as a symbol of their persistent love.

Following a January engagement, Sam Hunt married his Montevallo inspiration Hannah Lee Fowler in April. Not so unlike Guyton, they kept it low-key by inviting 150 family members and friends to a gorgeous wedding venue in Georgia.
Shane McAnally
While it's true that the renowned songwriter and producer has already been wed to Michael Baum since 2012, Tennessee didn't officially recognize their marriage until this year. The two made it a legal union before Nashville mayor Megan Barry in January with their two children present.
