The couple first met in 2009 when Reimann, a Texas-born interior designer, was hired to design and work on Earnhardt's house in Kannapolis. After six years of dating, Earnhardt proposed to Reimann in Germany in 2015.

Earnhardt and Reimann's wedding ceremony took place at Childress Vineyards in Lexington, North Carolina. The venue holds a special significance as it is owned by NASCAR team owner Richard Childress, who was also the car owner for Earnhardt's father, Dale Earnhardt, for many years.

> ""@dalejr and I are beginning 2017 as Mr. & Mrs.! Thank you for loving me and making me your wife. My heart is truly filled with love and joy."

The couple's wedding was attended by some of the biggest names in NASCAR, including Danica Patrick, who caught the bride's bouquet. Earnhardt and Reimann have two daughters together, Isla Rose and Nicole Lorraine, and have also faced challenges together, such as a plane crash in 2019 from which they both fortunately survived.

Earnhardt proposed to Reimann in a church in Germany

NASCAR's most eligible bachelor, Dale Earnhardt Jr., proposed to his longtime girlfriend, Amy Reimann, in a church in Germany. The couple was on vacation in Germany, spending Earnhardt's week off from the Sprint Cup series researching his family's heritage. Earnhardt, the son of seven-time Sprint Cup champion Dale Earnhardt, has never been married and had attempted to keep his love life private. However, this will be Reimann's second marriage.

Earnhardt, 40, reportedly popped the question in a Lutheran church where his ancestors once worshipped some 300 years ago before emigrating in 1744. The church, located in the city of Speyer, Germany, is said to be more than 1,000 years old. Earnhardt knew it was the perfect spot to propose to Reimann after a six-year courtship.

"To do it at that particular time, that moment while we were in that church, it made the moment more memorable for her," Earnhardt said. He felt that proposing in the church, which held such significant meaning for him and his family, would make the moment even more special for Reimann.

Earnhardt's sister, Kelley Earnhardt Miller, played an important role in the proposal. Due to Earnhardt's unusual phobia of jewelry, he did not want to carry the engagement ring himself, so his sister kept it safe and even acted as his "engagement ring crew chief" during the proposal.

Reimann happily accepted the proposal, and the couple shared their excitement on Twitter. "I'm completely overwhelmed with love & joy. Happiest girl in the world! I love you so much @DaleJr," Reimann tweeted, along with a photo of her engagement ring. Earnhardt replied, "Looking forward to the rest of my life with this amazing girl."

The couple's engagement sparked speculation about their wedding date, with Earnhardt initially stating that they hadn't set a date yet but were thinking of the following winter. However, they eventually tied the knot on New Year's Eve in 2016.

Earnhardt and Reimann's wedding took place on New Year's Eve, with the couple announcing the news on Twitter. Earnhardt had previously spoken about his phobia of jewellery, which he attributed to his older sister, Kelley Earnhardt Miller, chasing him around the house with necklaces when they were younger. Despite this, he was happy to propose to Reimann, whom he had been dating for over four years, while on vacation in Germany in June 2015.

The couple chose Childress Vineyards as their wedding venue, a beautiful and fun atmosphere with live music, delicious food, and wine slushie flights.
