Duane 'Dog' Chapman and Fiancée Francie Frane Go on a Sunday Date — Check Out Their Chosen Activity
Duane "Dog" Chapman and his fiancee Francie Frane shared how they spent their "beautiful Sunday" even though the bounty hunter humorously got one-upped by his bride-to-be.
Francie Frane and Duane Chapman are helping each other live their best lives, and the lovebirds enjoyed making the most of a sun-kissed Sunday outdoors.
FRANCIE IN THE LEAD
Sharing their outing with fans, Francie couldn't help but boast about her early lead over the beloved bounty hunter alongside a smiling snap, as she wrote, "A little putt-putt on a beautiful Sunday! Also, I won! Francie: 1 Dog: 0."
The couple found their way to each other as they knew a higher power intended after both lost their spouses within six months of each other. Duane and Francie started dating at the beginning of this year, as their friendship turned into more not long after meeting.
HOW THEY MET
Last year, Duane called Francie's ranch wanting to speak to her husband about work on his property, but he soon learned that she had lost her late husband to cancer. The bounty hunter lost his beloved Beth in June last year to cancer as well, and the pair became close quickly as they bonded over shared grief.
As the pair found each other, they also found their way back to life, as Duane's daughter Lyssa said that she hadn't seen her dad this happy "in a long time." The bounty hunter's daughters approve of the union, and Francie even has the beloved bounty hunter going to church three times a week.

WHEN THEY BECAME ENGAGED
Even though the couple is hopelessly in love, Francie said that she never expected Duane to propose in May. The pair spent quarantine together at Dog's house, and when Francie returned from grocery shopping one evening, she never anticipated what happened next.
After walking into a candlelit home, Duane waited until Francie had put down all the food before he sweetly dropped down on one knee and said:
"I know that God brought you into my life. I don't want to spend it without you. Will you marry me and spend the rest of our lives together?"
WEDDING BELLS
Admittingly, Francie couldn't resist accepting the proposal, and now she is excitedly looking forward to their upcoming nuptials. Already living together, the couple can't wait to make their union official once social distancing regulations are lifted.
Excited about walking down the aisle, Francie said that she wants the "biggest wedding there's ever been" as they celebrate the day with their respective families. However, if Duane gets his way, fans will also have the opportunity to share in their special day.
Judging from recent pictures Duane "Dog" Chapman posts of them together, the bounty hunter is once again enjoying the brighter side of life.
Taken during an unbridled moment of shared happiness, Duane and Francie both beamed as he told fans that they would be back in Virginia "real soon."
