“We had dated for a while. I actually asked her to marry me quite a few times and she kept saying no,” he recalled in the clip. “She said, ‘I’m not going to get involved with another country singer. It’s just not going to work out.'”
Eventually, McGraw’s persistence changed Hill’s mind, as the “Live Like You Were Dying” singer asked Hill to marry him in the trailer of an outdoor musical festival he was performing at. “And she says, ‘You’re asking me to marry you at a country music festival in a trailer house.’ And I said, ‘Well, it’s pretty apropos if you think about it.’ She goes, ‘Are you serious?’ And I said, ‘Well yeah, I’m serious,'” he explained at the time.
Although his hopes were not high, McGraw returned to his dressing room after the performance to find “Yes! I’m gonna be your wife” written in lipstick on the mirror. “We still have that mirror. And it was the best day of my life, that’s for sure,” he said.
