On December 19, 2018, Carly Pearce became the future Mrs. Michael Ray, when he proposed to her in Riviera Maya, Mexico.  When we asked her what made him ‘the one,’ she cited several things. “Our grandfathers both played such key roles into our lives,” says Carly. “The Pearce name is my grandfather – the red feather on my arm and my logo, all of that.  Amos is his grandfather’s name that he named his record after.”

Beyond similar upbringings, Carly says, “Where we’re going, who we were raised by, how we were raised, what we value – we both have very old souls. And I think what’s just important to us really lined up and what we prioritize and the kind of passions that we have, and we both are very driven people and our hearts are the same.  I don’t know how I explain that.”

Carly admits she’s heard people talk about finding the one, but it never really made sense until now. She says, “That sentence of ‘find the person that makes you better,’ and I was always like, ‘Well what does that even mean?’ Because nobody I’m with, really, I feel like makes me better. I’m very independent. So I was always like very against that statement cause I never understood what that meant. And I get it now.”

It may be too early for wedding plans just yet as Carly kicks off 2019 with her new single, “Closer to You” climbing the charts, and a tour with Russell Dickerson on the way, as well as other tour plans later in the year.
