The couple got engaged in July 2010. After planning a lavish Nashville wedding, they opted at the last minute to go to Antigua for a low-key ceremony on New Year's Day in 2011. They married in the ocean while wading in it, in a decidedly simple ceremony with no guest list, as reported by Usmagazine.
