I didn’t even know the Nickelback guy was dating Avril Lavigne.

Apparently they’re getting married. Where have I been? Oh right, somewhere protecting my ears from bleeding by not listening to either of them and pretending we were never graced by their amazing musical abilties…

Avril Lavigne and Nickelback frontman Chad Kroeger’s relationship has been so quiet that few even knew they were dating. Now, after a six-month courtship, the Canadian rockers are engaged to be married, Lavigne’s rep tells PEOPLE exclusively.

Lavigne, 27, and Kroeger, 37, first got together in February to co-write a song for Lavigne’s upcoming fifth studio album.

“A romantic relationship blossomed as they spent time writing together,” a Lavigne pal tells PEOPLE.

On Aug. 8, Kroeger popped the question, presenting Lavigne with a 14-carat diamond sparkler.

“He makes her so happy,” a family source tells PEOPLE. “Both of their families could not be more excited.”

It will be Kroeger’s first trip down the aisle, and the second marriage for Lavigne, who split from Sum 41 frontman Deryck Whibley in 2009. She had also dated Brody Jenner.

Nice job, Canada.

See what happens when you give something too much credit? All of us Americans are extra-hype about the election. Liberals talmbout how they’re movin to Canada if Romney is elected. Braindead conservatives crying about Obama’s socialist healthcare reform saying they’re moving to Canada to get away from it…even though they have it too. But the point is, y’all done up and praised Canada so much, this whole bag of dicks just went unnoticed!

That’s what this relationship is. A bag. Of dicks. Unfortunate (because all those dicks could have been used), odd (because who has a bag of dicks anyway?), vulgar (dick is never a polite word), but you have to know more about it (don’t you wanna know about a bag of dicks?).

But when you really think about it, this kind of makes sense. It’s like the ultra-douchenozzle-shitbag who got held back a few years starts hooking up with the bratty “alternative” girl who pierced her nipples with a safety pin and thinks blink-182 is punk rock. Totally normal, really. I just wish they did anything other than make music. If they start putting out love song duets, I’m swearing off Canada forever. No bacon, no syrup, no ~~Ryan Reynolds~~ Neve Campbell.

I keep cringing thinking about what awful sounds those two could make together. I hate that one song Chad sings and remixes every 6 months into a new single and Avril sounds like everything I hate when white girls complain about nothing.

Except this one song though.

Not gonna lie….

I used to kill that song with my windows rolled down, pimpin in my Honda Civic….
