Garth Brooks And Trisha Yearwood Put Their Wedding Cake On The Menu At New Nashville Bar

“It's a piece of history for us.”

Garth Brooks fans won’t be surprised to learn that the singer’s new Nashville bar features numerous nods to his relationship with his beloved wife and business partner, Trisha Yearwood.

The country couple appeared on Good Morning America Thursday to celebrate the highly anticipated opening of Friends in Low Places Bar & Honky Tonk. While demonstrating how to make some of the restaurant’s signature menu items, Yearwood revealed that the Broadway spot will offer a dessert that's extra special to her and Brooks: their wedding cake.

“This was my mom's recipe. It's a sour cream pound cake with just a decorative frosting, and it's a piece of history for us," the country singer and cookbook author told host Robin Roberts. “And it brings my mom back into the kitchen too.”

The cake isn’t the only reference to their nearly 20-year marriage that has been incorporated into the 54,715-square-foot honky tonk. Friends in Low Places is also the new home of a giant bronze statue that played an integral role in their proposal.

Back in the early 2000s, Buck Owens commissioned bronze statues of 10 country music stars for his Buck Owens' Crystal Palace in California. Brooks was one of them.

"When the [sculptor] goes, 'Hey, this is gonna stand for 200 years so pick your pose,' I said, 'Can you put a wedding ring on it?’” Brooks, who was dating Yearwood at the time, explained to Roberts.

When the statue was unveiled at the Legends in Bronze concert in May 2005, Brooks got down on one knee in front of Yearwood.

"So we went out as boyfriend and girlfriend and came back as 'promise-to-be-married-to-each-other' in front of that statue," Brooks recalled.

Owens told the country star that the statue could be his one day, if he wanted it. When they started drawing up plans for the honky tonk, Garth called in a favor and had the statue shipped from the Buck Owens' Crystal Palace.

"Ms. Yearwood said, 'We need to put our wedding cake in here, too, for anybody who wants to propose to the love of their life in front of that statue,'" Brooks said.

How sweet is that?
