Kellie Pickler Weds Kyle Jacobs

Congratulations are in order for Kellie Pickler! The country star married songwriter Kyle Jacobs on New Year's Day on a private island in the Caribbean. The wedding venue continues the theme that Kyle started when he proposed during a romantic picnic on a Florida beach in June 2010.

"He is very talented," Kellie told The Boot of her new husband, whom she dated for three years before tying the knot. "I have so much faith and belief in him. I think he's going to be around for a long time in the songwriting industry. It's great when you are able to write with someone you are also in a relationship with and have intimacy with. We have so much in common. It's nice to take our love into the studio. He's such a wonderful person."

Kyle popped the question June 15, the birthday of Kellie's deceased grandmother, making what would have been a sad day into one of the happiest days of the singer's life. "I remember saying to Kyle, 'Baby it's like I'm dreaming -- but if this isn't real, I'm going to be very upset!'" Kellie told People magazine.

The couple met shortly after the 'American Idol' finalist broke up with Nashville Predators player Jordon Tootoo in 2007.

Kellie's new hubby shares co-writing credits on Garth Brooks' 'More Than a Memory,' Tim McGraw's 'Still' and 'American Idol' finalist Kimberly Locke's hit, '8th World Wonder,' as well as album cuts by Trace Adkins, Jo Dee Messina, Clay Walker and, of course, Kellie.

January 1 was a popular day for country wedding bells. Shania Twain was also married on the first day of 2011, walking down a sandy aisle on a Puerto Rico beach to wed Frédéric Thiébaud. See their wedding pictures here.

Gee it sounds like you guys & gals are full of sour grapes! Who gives a crap what you think? Kellie Pickler wouldn't have married any of you, you are shallow & childish. I suppose the relationships that you all are in, are with "perfect" people? Gee do they know how you judge people, you do not know? I know, I don't know you, but from what you write you sound like a bunch of bozo's, with inferior thoughts about yourself. Money & beauty do not have any part in a real relationship.However this is quite true of inmmature individuals, like you all sound.Not all people look "straight or gay", but does that mean they aren't? Anyway, she or he didn't marry any of you.

I think the guy is cute and he doesn't look gay at all to me. He just doesn't look like some rough and tough athlete or gangster. Looks like a nice guy. But, it concerns me. He looks like the lead singer of R.E.M (they sing Losing My Religion) and that guy seems weird but maybe he's not. But, other than that he looks OK.

Ex-carhop at a drive-in restaurant marries some bi-curious D-bag and the world is supposed to stop spinning? I won't get excited until some big star like Andy Dick comes along.

Kellie is sweet and about as real as pure gets. You who slander her shouldn't be so jealous... it's not your fault that you were born a untalented loser....and neither is it your fault that sweet little Kellie is (without even trying) showing you up. Get a life.
