Preston asked Alaina to marry him on November 29, 2024 at Auburn University, where the two first met through mutual friends while attending school. Best Black Friday ever! They took a stroll around campus for old times' sake and stopped near The Lathe, a historic landmark at Samford Hall. It is an Auburn folk belief that Auburn students can bring their significant other to The Lathe at midnight to test their faithfulness to one another. After they kiss next to The Lathe, if the wheel of The Lathe does not move, they have been deemed faithful and are believed to get married.
