Although there hasn’t been an official public announcement on the exact date yet, the wedding does appear to be right around the corner. On January 12, Alaina and 17 of her friends flew down to Miami to party in style.

In her caption, Alaina writes, “Kissin’ the same cowboy forever 🪩🤠.”
In the final post documenting her bachelorette weekend, Alaina uploaded another montage of her extra-large bridal party.

Lauren Alaina’s ‘Awesome’ Fiance
Despite Alaina’s secrecy surrounding her exact wedding date, the “American Idol” star was even more protective of her blossoming relationship. Alaina and Arnold first began dating in 2020, almost two years before the couple’s first public appearance. On November 19, 2022, Alaina introduced Arnold to her fans at the Grand Ole Opry.
Unbeknownst to fans, Arnold had already proposed to Alaina the night before. When Alaina took the stage for a performance, she brought Arnold out for a brief introduction. “I was welcomed into this family, and it was a dream of mine as long as I can remember,” she said of the Grand Ole Opry. “I didn’t think this year could get any better, but I got asked into another family!”
After Alaina introduced Arnold to fans, she unveiled her exciting news. “I told him he had to come out here and we had to get a picture — we’re doing it because this is the circle, and I’m going to hold my hand up and do the thing. Make some noise for my future husband, everybody!”
In an October 2023 interview with People, Alaina described Arnold as a “good teammate” and her “best friend in the whole wide world.” For Alaina, she says that she wouldn’t change a thing about her relationship with Arnold. “He wears a suit for work every day, and I’m not sure that he had any idea who I was when he met me. And I’m still not sure he fully does know who I am!” Alaina said. “I’m just kidding. But he’s very normal. He’s from Georgia like me. He’s just awesome.”
