Garth Brooks used country greats Merle Haggard, George Jones to assist in his proposal to Trisha Yearwood

Garth Brooks went to great lengths to ensure Trisha Yearwood had a marriage proposal she would never forget. Brooks recruited country legends Merle Haggard and George Jones to help.

In the book, Brooks wrote that Owens decided to launch his nightclub with large bronze statues of men in country music. He called the night the "Legends in Bronze" event and statues included Haggard, Jones, George Strait, Bob Willis, Willie Cash and Owens himself. "And the woman I will love for hundreds and hundreds of years was going to be my wife… She was also going to marry three little girls." Janelle Ash is an entertainment writer for Fox News Digital.

Brooks was very involved with the process of creating his statue, and Bill Rains, the artist behind the statue, made it clear that once it was finished, Brooks' statue would stand "for hundreds of years" and not able to be changed. After Brooks was informed about the finality of the statue, he asked Rains, "Can you put a wedding ring on it?"
