Jimmie Allen and Alexis Gale were married yesterday (5/27) and celebrated with family and friends, including Darius Rucker, Tyler Rich and wife Sabina Gadecki, and Chuck Wicks and wife Kasi.

Jimmie told People of his new bride, "Her smile melts me, her pure heart challenges me to love better, the way she motivates and supports me is unlike anything I've ever seen, the way she loves me and my son is unlike anything I've ever experienced. It feels incredible to find the type of love I've been writing songs about all these years!"

The couple, who met through Allen's cousin's wife, are both originally from Milton, Delaware. They got engaged at Disney World in July 2019. The pair had set a wedding date last year, but the pandemic delayed their plans.

The couple is parents to daughter Naomi Bettie, 14 months, as well as Aadyn, Allen's 7-year-old son from a previous relationship.
