Kaynette Williams & Blake Shelton Love Story

Once the high school-loving birds were enjoying a December morning with some friends & great food. So, the country boy Shelton asked Kaynette to marry him because he knew “…Kaynette was the one” & “she said yes…” That was it & they went back out hunting.
