“Happy Oktoberfest!! Magst du meine lederhose?” theExtreme Makeover: Home EditionandTrading Spacesalumwrote. The latter translates to “Do you like my lederhosen?”
“True story: we lived in Germany when I was 4 and when we returned to America, my mother continued to make me wear lederhosen to school everyday…. for several years,” he revealed.
Pennington jokingly added, “As you can guess, I was super popular with the other kids.”
“Kellee hates having her picture taken so we’re practicing our best ‘blue steel’ for the wedding…. clearly hers needs some work (she hasn’t taken my classes),” Penningtonwrote alongside a selfieof the pair that he posted shortly after announcing their engagement.
A rep for Pennington told PEOPLE in July that the star popped the question to Merrell over morning coffee on the dock of his home in Palm Coast, Florida.

“I have admired Kellee from afar for years. She’s a beautiful person inside and out,” Pennington told PEOPLE exclusively in July. “Luckily our paths finally crossed at the right time. It’s one of those things where you just feel happy being around a person. I never thought I would get married, but she changed that. Glad I waited for the one.”
