Back to the start
Around one year after confirming their relationship, Pearce and Ray took it back to where it all began, having a date night at The Nashville Palace, where they had their very first date together.

Celebrating achievements
Pearce and Ray have been there for a number of each other's professional milestones, and Pearce took the opportunity to praise her fiancée in a July post celebrating Ray's third No. 1 song, "One That Got Away."
"Celebrated my sweetheart's third #1 at country radio last night," she wrote. "I already am inspired by his work ethic, his talent and his ability to pick great songs, but the most proud moment for me was hearing every single person in the room say that he is THE nicest guy in the business with the biggest heart. Congrats, honey."

"15 hrs free... fly and watch your smoking hot fiancée rock NY!" he captioned a photo of the two happily hugging next to a tour bus.
