Carrie Underwood has gotten the seal of approval from her future in-laws.
Jim Fisher, father to Mike Fisher, told Canadian paper the Peterborough Examiner that he's "very happy" about his son's just-announced engagement to the country singer.
What other stars are getting married?
"Both Karen and I were quite excited," the proud papa says on behalf of himself and the hockey player's mother, Karen. "We're very happy for them."
A rep for Underwood, 26, confirmed her engagement to Fisher, 29, to UsMagazine.com on Monday. The Ottawa Senators player popped the question on Sunday. The super-private couple began dating in autumn of last year.

"We've gotten to know [Underwood] quite well over the last year and she's a great girl," Jim Fisher said. "We just think they make a great couple."
When pressed for details on the wedding planning (reports suggest a summer 2010 bash), the elder Fisher demurred, "They're staying pretty private... They haven't gone into a lot of detail...I can't comment on that... He didn't so I'm not."

One thing that speaks louder than words? Underwood's rock! The singer flashed her brand-new bling in the stands at her fiance's (losing) game against the Boston Bruins in Ottawa Monday night.
Will Carrie and Mike's wedding be as fabulous as these 2009 nuptial blowouts?
The flawless yellow diamond engagement ring was designed by Johnathon Arndt of Johnathon Arndt Gallery of Jewels, a celeb-friendly "invitation only" jeweler. "This ring is a symbol of love from Mike Fisher to Carrie Underwood," the designer said in a statement.

hahahaha you americans are so funny. You don't know anything about canada or the people of canada. Canadians are not shallow we are actually the nicest people you will ever meet. So carrie made the right choice choosing a canadian guy. I hate when americans talk about canadians like they know about us. Unless you've lived here please don't talk. GO CANADA! and congrats carrie. we love you here in canada
Hey Pat - why the heck do you live in the US if you are so proud to be Canadian? The healthcare has always stunk thats why you all come here for anything serious. But hey, you don't sound smarter than a sack of hammers so what the hey eh?
@ Pat "the best healthcare"? Seriously? every single Canadian I know and a lot that I don't know personally say that it sucks. Straight up its terrible. I have never lived there, so I can't speak to that, but you must have very good health or something.
They are beautiful together, and it's so nice to read and see beautiful couple news,Wishing them lots of love and happiness.
"K";you couldn't be MORE wrong about "Canuck's", I am a Proud Canadian and live in the United States, I have to say though if we or anyone for that matter didn't have ANY standards can you imagine what the state of this world would be in? I dedect a little bit of jealousy in your tone, we have the best healthcare and it's the best place to live. I am VERY happy that Carrie snagged a Canuck, at least she will be taken care of the RIGHT way and NOT have to pay for healthcare or any kind of Co-pay! May God Bless you Carrie & Mike, I wish you guys all the happiness in the world~!
someone seems to be having a bit of an anti-canadian tantrum! And what is with the eggnog, silly

u r all trying 2 find the worst in these 2, i wish these 2 luck, they r perfect together!
10:19 Actually, Canadians are known as generous, kind, and friendly people all over the world!
10:19 What a sad and lonley person you must be. Sounds like the puck got dumped after the goal.
Mike Fisher is so hot in person and there are way better photos of him around, especially shirtless ones! He is a highly regarded man of Character in Canada as having a charitable foundation, living Christian values, and working hard at everything he does. He treats Carrie like a Queen. She is the world to him. Best of luck to these super humble celebrities.
Of course she would get the seal of approval from her in laws; she is young,beautiful,famous,rich and under 30- the ONLY type of American girl a shallow Canuck will date,marry or welcome into their families...he IS Canadian after all..they are known for being shallow and fickle.... an American girl HAS to be "all that" to impress the Canadian guys...if she is not EVERY single one of those FORGET IT!!!
Of course she would get the seal of approval from her in laws- she is young,beautiful,famous,rich and under 30 the ONLY sort of American girl those shallow Canucks will approve of...Canucks are shallow and very difficult to please...an American girl has to be "all that" to date or marry a Canadian....if she fails even one of the conditions FORGET IT!!
Love her and am happy for the both of them. Great ring and very down to earth nice couple. Congrats!!!!!!
