How Did Jonathan Bennett’s Engagement Happen?
According to People, Jaymes Vaughan was the one who proposed popping the question via song. “We would always hear songs and think, ‘Oh that would be our song if just this part or that part were different,'” Vaughan said. “So, as a result, we didn’t have a song that was ‘ours.’… I just wanted him to feel like the most special person in those three minutes of first hearing the song.”
Jaymes Vaughan described the moment that it happened, which almost feels reminiscent of a scene out of Love, Actually.

Vaughan stood outside, holding a sign that said: “We never did find our song, so I wrote it for you.” Jonathan Bennett then said, “That’s when I knew I was getting proposed to because it was the same type of sign he made when he told me he loved me for the first time… And then I began to ugly-cry the ugliest cry anyone has ever cried.” Awwwwwwww.
“What we have is really special. It’s the thing people make movies about or, I guess in this case, write songs about,” Jonathan Bennett said, “I think we’ve both known since the day we met on set at Jaymes’s show that we were going to be each other’s person. It feels like family being with him. I feel like there’s nothing in the world we can’t accomplish when we are together.” Sorry, we need to stop, I’m about to cry.

What’s Bennett Up To?
If you’ve been wondering what Jonathan Bennett has been up to since Mean Girls (and reprising his role in Ariana Grande’s ‘thank u, next’ video), he’s starred in Hallmark’s first film to feature a same-sex couple, The Christmas House. So, that’s our Christmas viewing habits sorted.
Now, that’s a Christmas movie we can’t wait to see. Congrats again, boys!
