Laura Bell Bundy is having her best year yet! The 34-year old actress/singer got engaged over the long holiday weekend to Thom Hinkle, and she couldn’t wait to show off her gorgeous engagement ring on social media.
In an Instagram post on New Year’s Eve, the Two Step singer wrote: “Four years ago I met this amazing man @thomhinkle. Initially, it was his biting wit, charm & beating me at Dance Dance revolution at Jerry’s Deli that swept me off my feet, but it’s his thoughtfulness, massively generous heart & the fact he switched from Scotch to KY Bourbon that has kept me falling in love with him more everyday.”
She went on to say, “That’s not some romantic exaggeration for the sake of posting this either. It’s the truth.”
Apparently Bundy is a sucker for good booze. “The Bourbon thing really won me over,” she shared. “But in all seriousness.. The way we’ve come out of differences & challenges as better more fully realized versions of ourselves has only deepened our love & connection…”
The bride-to-be went on to say, “And allows me to believe we have what it takes to grow young together. It allows me to believe in love in general. THAT’s when you know if love is true.”
She continued by gushing about the love of her life… “He is my rock. My Partner. My Best Friend. My roomie. My champion. My greatest most fun challenge. My make-out Partner. He’s the reason to my rhyme & he’s attempting to make me an honest woman. I sayd ‘YES!’ #engaged @happynewyear #2016:”
The couple, who met four years ago, has been vacationing in New Zealand with friends. On January 3, the future bride shared a photo of the lovebirds on a boat, along with fellow vacationers. Bundy captioned the image, “Love is in the air at Russell Bay of Islands, New Zealand. Fun times with our friends Rosie & Rhys. @thomhinkle @rhysiedarby @rosiecd #lurve:”

With a few days left of their island adventure, the newly engaged couple appear to be having a pre-wedding honeymoon. We couldn’t be happier for them! Congratulations to the future Mr. and Mrs. Hinkle. May your love for each other continue to grow every day.
