Ladies it’s official, Blake Shelton is off the market after proposing last weekend to his girlfriend of five years, Miranda Lambert.
 
Shelton popped the question while the two were in the woods near their Tishomingo, Okla., home, after performing the gentlemanly task of asking Lambert’s father for his blessing.
 
“He called my dad and got his blessing first," Lambert told PEOPLE. "That was so Southern and old-school and perfect."
 
Lambert also approved of the diamond and platinum ring Shelton picked out. "I was so proud of him," she said. "We've been together five years, so he knew exactly what I wanted but it's so much more perfect than I could have picked out myself."
 
Earlier this year, Shelton hinted at the upcoming proposal during an interview with AOL's The Boot, saying that thought the couple has had their ups and downs, but he could see the engagement happening.
 
Both Lambert and Shelton have enjoyed personal and professional success in 2010. Shelton’s latest six-pak album release, Hillbilly Bone, topped the charts and won an ACM Award for its title track duet with Trace Adkins. Meanwhile, Lambert won three ACM Awards this year, including Album of the Year and Top Female Vocalist.
 
The May 14 issue of People magazine features a picture of Lambert’s new bling.
