Remember the viral couple whose proposal Lane Kiffin photobombed during Ole Miss vs. Citadel?
Lane Kiffin should expect a call from them soon.
Not because he photobombed their precious engagement moment, but rather for a wedding invitation.
SEC This Morning's hosts asked Ole Miss former pole vaulter Drew O'Connor and his fiancée, Madison Barnette, if Kiffin and his fur baby, Juice, should expect an invitation soon; the couple cheerfully said, "Absolutely."

Barnette even mentioned that they would love to have Juice as the dog of honor.
"If Juice Kiffin could be there, he's going to be the dog of honor," Barnette said.
It's as if the Kiffin family was meant to be so close to Barnette and O'Connor's relationship; first, Lane Kiffin at their engagement, and then, possibly, Juice Kiffin carrying their wedding bands down the aisle on their big day.
“I absolutely loved it,” Barnette said of Kiffin joining the Polaroid moment to USA Today.
“I’m a big fan of Ole Miss football, Ole Miss athletics, and I think that’s why Drew knew this would be a perfect proposal for me.”
Drew O'Connor explains how he planned the proposal
“I wanted to propose to Madison at a place that mattered to both of us, and Ole Miss completely changed both of our lives for the better,” O’Connor said, who will start work at a Missouri accounting firm in January.
“It just kind of made sense for me to at least give it my best effort to make it such a special day.”
That's how the idea of proposing to his girlfriend at the Vaught-Hemingway, in the guise of a third-quarter kicking competition, came to life.
"Trust me, I had the easy role," O’Connor added. "Their behind-the-scenes coordination was super impressive."
While Barnette was waiting for the kick, O'Connor was already down on his knee.
"When she said yes, I felt like the luckiest man alive,” O’Connor said.
