Parker McCollum is Having a July to Remember

Parker McCollum is Having a July to Remember

Parker McCollum is having a July to remember – this Friday, to close out the month, his new album Gold Chain Cowboy will arrive in stores and online.

But it was at the beginning of the month Parker made a bigger move…he proposed to his girlfriend Hallie Ray.

Parker admits that the proposal went as smooth as it did because of the help of his sister and her professional skills, “My sister’s an event planner in Washington, D.C., and I’ve been so busy on the road there was no way that I was going to pull that off on my own.”

Parker and his sister also had a little help from his soon-to-be Mother-In-Law, “So, her and Hallie Ray’s mom killed it. I mean, just absolutely took care of the whole deal (and) flew her family and my family in to surprise her. She’d had no idea. She thought we were going to a label dinner. She thought she was walking into this private room where everybody with the record label would be there, and obviously, when she pulled back the curtain and saw all the flowers and all that stuff.”

When it comes to that moment where he asked Hallie Ray to be his wife, “I don’t remember what I said. She doesn’t remember what I said either, but I did the thing and then they all came down and surprised her and we had a little party. It really went off without a hitch. It was great.”

Of course she said “yes”!
