Dave Haywood, 29, gave his girlfriend, Kelli Cashiola, 29, the holiday gift every girl wants: an engagement ring!  A representative for Haywood confirmed to People that he proposed on Monday evening.  He did so first by picking up his finance and blind folding her as he drove her to their home, which was converted into a winter wonderland.  When the blindfold was removed “will you marry me” was spelled out in Christmas lights on the front of their house and Haywood slipped a ring onto Cashiola’s finger.  Cashiola, of course, said yes.  Haywood is the final Lady Antebellum band member to be engaged.  A date has not been set, but it is said to be after the spring wedding of band mate Hillary Scott.
