The last single Annie, Ashley Monroe, posted on her Twitter account Friday night that she'd accepted a proposal from her boyfriend; and she's now flashing a big ol' rock on her left hand.

Twitter/Ashley MonroeMonroe's beau, Chicago White Sox starting pitcher John Danks, evidently turned on the romance big time for the special moment--placing rose petals on a bed to read "Will you marry me?" What girl could resist? Certainly not Monroe, who tweeted "BEST NIGHT OF MY LIFE!"

The proposal came just days after Monroe's birthday and directly after the Annies embarked on their Fall tour, which kicked off in New York City. If you're wondering how the busy baseball player has had the time to plan and execute his proposal when his team is in the middle of a series, Danks is currently recovering from shoulder surgery and not able to play for the time being.

Fellow Pistol Annies Miranda Lambert and Angaleena Presley are already hitched--Lambert, of course, to fellow country star Blake Shelton; Presley to Lambert's tour manager Jordan Powell.

Congrats to Ashley and John!
