Carter popped the question during a getaway in the Florida Keys back in February 2013. The pop star proposed to his love with a giant, 7-carat diamond after sailing to a nearby island for the romantic moment.

Equally sweet was Carter’s personal vows, which he read from a note card. A second insider tells Us that as the singer shared his heartfelt message with his new wife, “Lauren reached out and put her hand on his chest.” Even more emotional was the exchanging of rings. “Lauren held Nick’s hand and dried tears from her eyes,” the source recalls.
