The Biggest Loser contestant Vinny Hickerson feel like he had,
“a million pounds of weight off my shoulders.”
Hickerson who is twenty eight years old, who is a singer form the country duo group Trailer Choir, has proposed to his long-time girlfriend twenty nine year old Lori Diaz.
As they were on a date at the Grand Ole Opry which had been filmed for the reality show weight loss competition, that will be seen on Tuesday’s night episode of the The Biggest Loser.
“I wanted to take her there because it’s a place where so many dreams have come true, right there on that stage,” Hickerson tells PEOPLE exclusively. “My biggest dream is to be a great husband and a great father, and fall in love.”
“There was no one there but us and a camera crew,” says Diaz. “We sat down in the front row and he gives me a spiel about how he loves me more than anything.”
Hickerson popped the question with a ring from Nashville’s King Jewellers.
“I thought it looked like the Eiffel Tower, which makes people think of beauty and romance,” he says. “Just like the first time I saw Lori, out dancing in a zebra dress, I had that same feeling like, ‘Oh my gosh, this is the one.’ “
But the second surprise of the evening was during a private concert by the group Thompson Square, who played their Grammy-nominated song
“Are You Gonna Kiss Me or Not.”
“I couldn’t believe they were there just for us, in this huge, amazing place,” says Diaz.
Hickerson had revealed that his goal was to loose weight in order for him to become fit future husband an a dad to Diaz’s nine year old son Brennon.
Before,
“I wasn’t out playing ball with Brennon and even watching him skateboard. I’d just sit in the car and watch,” says Hickerson, who is down to 314 lbs. after starting the show at 426 lbs. “Now, there isn’t anything I can’t do!”
Adds Diaz of the proposal:
“I’ll never forget that night for as long as I live. It was so perfect, even more perfect than if I had planned it myself!”
