Fresh off playing Club Skirts The Dinah this past weekend, the news is out that country singer Chely Wright is engaged to her girlfriend Laura Blitzer, People reports.
Wright came out publicly just under a year ago, releasing her memoir Like Me: Confessions of a Heartland Country Singer and a very personal record Lifted Off the Ground.
"Out country singer Chely Wright and her fiancée, Lauren Blitzer, a GLBT Civil Rights activist have set a date and plan to be married in Connecticut Aug. 20," Wright's rep told People. "They met through their youth advocacy work, and say that their passion for Scrabble holds them together."
Congratulations to the happy couple!
