As a newly married couple, they made one of their first public appearances together at the American Music Awards.
Faith was at this point much more pregnant and her baby belly could be seen through her white baby doll dress. The two looked super in love, it was clear to anybody who saw them. They couldn’t wait to start their little family.
Popping The Question
McGraw remembers the day like it was yesterday. He started to talk about marriage with Faith, he said “it was raining and stuff and we’d been on tour for a while together, and I joked around with her about getting married. And so I said… I looked at her, grabbed her by the hand, and dropped forward onstage. She had already done her show. And I said, ‘I’m really serious. I want you to marry me.”
After McGraw had finished his show and got off stage, Faith was waiting and had written Yes! on a mirror.
The Wedding
Hill and McGraw planned a huge surprise for their friends and family. They invited them to come over to watch a game of softball and a concert in McGraw’s hometown Rayville, Louisiana. Guests had no idea what was waiting for them. When they arrived, they were greeted by an official wedding ceremony.
Faith by that point was three months pregnant and donned a beautiful yet modest white dress while barefoot. Tim was in jeans and a black coat. They said “I do” under an oak tree. They were some of the first celebrities to pull off a surprise wedding.
Green Eyed Girlfriend
As Tim recalls how it all began with Faith, he remembers a quite uncomfortable situation that occurred with his ex-girlfriend.
Tim shared that when he first saw Faith in flesh, his eyes sparkled so much that his ex-girlfriend even noticed. She told him that she didn’t want him hanging around Faith. Looks like Tim’s ex had an accurate intuition about the two and she was about to get dumped
Baby On Board
Faith made many appearances with her growing baby bump and fans were very excited to see their favorite couple’s first child.
In May 1997, their daughter, Gracie Katherine, was born. Faith took a break from singing to be with her family. It wasn’t long before the couple decided to expand their number again. It seemed like these lovers were crazier about each other day after day.
