Garth Brooks popped the question to his current wife Trisha Yearwood with a surprise onstage proposal on May 25, 2005. The proposal came during Garth’s show at Buck Owens's Crystal Palace in Bakersfield, California. Jerry Hufford, talent coordinator for the Palace, spoke with People magazine following the proposal, saying:"Her knees were like Jell-O. She was totally stunned. Minutes after the proposal, we asked if she'd like to perform onstage with Garth, and she replied, 'I don't think I can make it up the stairs.' It took her a while to regain composure. You could tell she'd been crying,” he recalled.
