The singer tells People Magazine, "I had the ring in my pocket for two weeks. I was like, 'I don't want it anymore!' It was driving me insane. I just wanted to get it out of my hands and on to hers."
Thankfully, Carter's Tolkien-like reaction to the engagement ring lead to an exultant "Yes!" from 29-year-old girlfriend Lauren. The boy bander says he took his lovely lady down to the Florida Keys in order to propose on a romantic boat ride -- but that's not exactly what happened.
"My boat was in such bad condition because I hadn't used it for, like, six years. It took me five days literally on my hands and knees, scraping up my body [to fix it,]" he tells the magazine. "The engine wasn't complete yet but we still decided to go out."
Despite the sea-fairing vessel stalling several times, the lovebirds and some friends and family, reached an island off the coast. Nick popped the question and the rest is history! Now the couple just have to figure out a wedding date -- one that they can plan around future Backstreet Boys tour dates.
Cheers you guys!
