Kelly Clarkson Marries Brandon Blackstock In Tennessee

Kelly Clarkson is a married woman!

Clarkson wed fiance Brandon Blackstock in Tennessee on Sunday, Oct. 20 at Blackberry Farms in Walland. Blackberry Farms is a 4,200-acre luxury hotel and resort situated in the Great Smoky Mountains.

A small group of family and friends were in attendance at the ceremony , including his two children from a previous marriage, according to E! News.

The singer took to Twitter to announce the news to fans, following a bout of rumors about the nuptials, and even shared two gorgeous photos from the special day . The 31-year-old looked beautiful in a long-sleeved Temperly London lace gown with her hair styled in a loose up-do. She and her hubby posed for pics on the resort's palatial grounds.

Hollywood Life first reported that Clarkson and Blackstock had wed , pointing to a tweet sent out Sunday by a woman claiming to be the sister of a Blackberry Farms chef.

Fans likely knew a wedding was coming since the couple secured a marriage license in Tennessee on Oct. 15. A marriage license is good for 30 days from the date of issuance, Us Weekly previously noted.

In August, Clarkson told People magazine that she and Blackstock would elope . They had originally planned to wed in an "earthy" outdoor farm wedding at home, but things got too crazy.

"Our whole life is a celebration," she said at the time. "That's what we kept laughing about. We don't need another day where we throw a big party. Our lives are so in the spotlight all the time. Everything is such a spectacle, we were like, 'We would rather have an intimate moment that's special.'"
