Katie Stam gets engaged to fiance Brian Irk

Katie Stam got engaged recently to her fiance Brian Irk, who works as a personal trainer from Indiana.

Brian proposed in front of around 600 guests at a fundraiser.

Katie when asked said:

“I started hyperventilating because I was so excited,” she said about the proposal. “He dropped down on one knee and he said ‘I love you so much. Will you be my Miss America forever?’”

Katie Stam who is 24 years old has served as Miss America for the year 2009.

They both will return back to Indianapolis and plan for a fall wedding.

Katie further said that:

“It’s bittersweet but being engaged and going back to Indiana knowing that I’m engaged to the man that I love, makes it really special and makes it easier to let go of being Miss America. I’m kind of trading one in for the other,” she says.
