During an appearance on the TODAY show on Monday, country singer Darius Rucker stated that he and his fiancée Emily Deahl have not set their sights on planning a wedding.
Per PEOPLE, the Hootie & the Blowfish frontman touched on the topic when he was asked to provide an update on the preparation.
“We don’t really have any plans,” Rucker stated. “We’re not going to plan — we’re just gonna get married and have a big party somewhere.”
The Come Back Song singer also gushed about Deahl. “Emily and I, we’ve been together for a couple of years, and she’s an amazing human being,” Rucker, 59, said.
Rucker said that he got down on one knee to propose to Deahl, 33, at Pawleys Island in South Carolina, adding that it was “a great day.”

The couple then took to Instagram to announce their engagement on October 8. “Thank you for showing me a level of happiness I have never known. The day I met you I knew I didn’t want to go another one without you. Now I don’t have to,” Rucker wrote.
One of the photos in the post showed a barefoot Rucker getting down on one knee and seemingly popping the question to Deahl, who was beaming with a smile. The other photo also showed Rucker giving Deahl a peck while she held his hand and flaunted her diamond engagement ring.
Deahl, who is a lifestyle content creator and singer-songwriter, also took to her Instagram Stories to reveal why she kept her relationship with Rucker off social media before announcing their engagement.
“I never intended on keeping this part of my life from you guys for so long, but somewhere along the way of loving him I discovered how sacred love is to me,” she wrote. “And all I wanted to do was protect it.”
“But damn I’m glad I don’t have to spend the time photoshopping him out of every photo now ????,” she added.
