5. He Proposed to Chrisley in the Sweetest Way: Nic popped the question in Nashville, People reported. Chrisley said her mom told her she forgot something at the store, so the two drove there, and when they returned to the house, they found it empty. A family friend's son steered them to look outside, where she discovered the couple's families and friends.

"And then, Nic looks at me and he was like, 'Hey babe, will you come here?' And you can tell you he was so nervous, and I was nervous," Chrisley told People. "That was a long walk. I was like, ‘What is going down?' And then, it's funny. He tells me now that he forgot everything he wanted to say. He said he had this whole thing written out, and he was like, ‘I just forgot it all.' And it was just so cute and everyone was crying. It was just such a cool moment. And the fact that both of our families were there made it even better."
