Plenty of vows were exchanged throughout 2019 as many of country music’s biggest stars said their “I dos.” Though most of the weddings were just for family and friends, these singers couldn’t resist sharing their love with fans by posting beautiful pictures from their big days.

Check out the gorgeous country weddings of 2019:

Miranda Lambert – Country star Miranda Lambert took fans by surprise when she shared on Valentine’s Day that she tied the married Brendan McLoughlin. Though little was known about Lambert’s relationship with McLoughlin, the couple looked radiant on their big day. Lambert sported an exquisite lace wedding gown while her groom kept things classy in a simple black suit.

Jillian Jacqueline – Almost a year after getting engaged in Paris, singer-songwriter Jillian Jacqueline married her longtime boyfriend and guitarist Bryan Brown. The couple said their “I do’s” in front of their closest family and friends, and the wedding’s reception featured Jacqueline’s signature bohemian-influenced style. The country songstress was ethereal in a simple white wedding gown with a sheer cape, and Brown put a retro spin on the classic black suit look.

Chuck Wicks – After a short and sweet engagement period, Chuck Wicks and Kasi Williams, the sister of superstar Jason Aldean, tied the knot in the picturesque Cabo San Lucas, Mexico, in July. The reception consisted of a precious first dance to “Can’t Help Falling In Love” and a spectacular fireworks show as the newlyweds cut the wedding cake. Williams stunned in a Galia Lahav dress while Wicks rocked a custom tux by Tom James.
