Carrie Underwood’s Wedding Pics

I knew it wouldn’t be all that long before we got pictures of Carrie Underwood’s wedding and I was right! Recently, People released a bunch of pictures from the wedding that showed everything from Carrie’s wedding dress, reception dress, the cupcake cake, and the hockey puck wedding favors that Carrie and Mike handed out to their guests. All of the pics are super cute and just make me really, really wish that I had been invited! There are so many pics, and you can check out the gallery at Amy Grindhouse.

Emily Blunt and John Krasinski Get Married!

Well, Carrie Underwood and Mike Fisher weren’t the only ones to exchange vows on Saturday – Emily Blunt and John Krasinski did too! After dating for a year and a half, Emily and John got married in a private ceremony in Italy. And other than that, we don’t really know that much. This comes from Celebrity Gossip,

“Making the lifelong commitment to one another, Emily Blunt and John Krasinski were married in Italy on Saturday (July 10).

The “Office” actor and his “Wolfman” actress bride tied the knot in front of friends and family in an intimate service at the Villa D’este in Como.

Krasinski’s rep tells Us magazine of the fete, “John and Emily were married on Saturday in a private ceremony.”

With few details available at the time, an insider tells, “It was an outdoor ceremony and absolutely beautiful.”

Among the guests were “Up In the Air” hunk George Clooney and his Italian model lady Elisabetta Canalis.”

Congratulations to Emily and John! I think they make a super cute couple!

Carrie Underwood and Mike Fisher are Married!!!

I am so, so happy for this couple! Yesterday, at an exclusive resort in Georgia, two of my favorite stars in the entire world, Carrie Underwood and Mike Fisher got married! It sounds like it was a good ol’ Southern wedding with classical music and a few of the couple’s favorite Bible verses. Carrie, of course, was dressed just like a princess in a designer Chantilly lace gown, and gaining access to the hotel was pretty much strictly forbidden. E! Online has all the details,

“No more cowboy casanovas for Carrie Underwood.

The Grammy-winning singer swapped vows Saturday evening with NHL player Michael Fisher in a lavish ceremony at the Ritz-Carlton Lodge, Reynolds Plantation, in Greensboro, Ga., E! News has confirmed.

More than 250 guests were in attendance, including country supercouple Tim McGraw and Faith Hill.

“We could not feel more blessed to have found each other and to have shared this day with our friends and family that mean so much to us!” the newlyweds said in a statement to People.

During the ceremony, which reportedly featured the couple’s favorite Bible verses and classical music, The 27-year-old blushing bride walked down the aisle in a Monique Lhuillier chantilly lace gown. Her bridesmaids donned dresses by the coveted designer as well.

Security was tight all over the property, which was closed off to anyone who wasn’t either employed by the hotel or instrumental in making the Underwood-Fisher nuptials happen.

Even the road leading into the hotel was closed to traffic Saturday, making it necessary for eager-beaver shutterbugs to shoot the ceremony from boats on Lake Oconee, which borders the hotel.

Speaking of privacy, the newlyweds were scheduled to spend their first night together as husband and wife in the Ritz’s 5,400-square-foot Presidential House.”

Carrie Underwood is one of my very favorite singers and Mike Fisher plays on my very favorite hockey team, the Ottawa Senators. I just have to say it again – I am so, so happy for this couple! A huge congratulations goes out to Mike and Carrie.

Details on Nicole and Joel’s Wedding

It’s so nice to have all these details of weddings coming out. It’s such a nice change from talking about affairs and divorces. And with Carrie Underwood and Katy Perry getting married soon, it’s going to be a busy summer for celebrity weddings. And we can add to that list Nicole Richie and Joel Madden, who recently got engaged and are now slowly leaking some of their plans too. Is it just me, or does it already seem like these two have been engaged forever? Most likely just because they’ve been together so long and have those two beautiful children together but really, I almost had to double check that they weren’t already married. From the sounds of it though, in good ol’ Nicole and Joel fashion, the wedding is going to be one big rock concert. From Celebitchy,

“Nicole Richie, 28, will soon marry Joel Madden, 31, and her guest list is rivaling the Grammys!

According to an insider, Nicole and Joel are inviting the biggest names in the music industry to their wedding, and instead of asking for gifts, they’re asking them to perform!

“There will be countless performances at the wedding,” an insider says, nothing that Nicole’s dad, Lionel Richie, has tons of musician friends who will be in attendance. “It will be one big concert.”

Congrats, Nicole and Joel! Thanks for giving us something happy to talk about!

Details on Carrie’s Wedding

Ever since the news that Carrie Underwood and Mike Fisher got engaged broke, we really haven’t heard too much about the couple. Carrie included some words for Mike on her newest album, and Mike took a lot of flack for not having his mind on the game, but instead on his new fiance. But both of those things were some time ago and still, hardly news-worthy. But now, we get a few more details on what the wedding will be like. Or rather, what Carrie will look like.

There’s still no word on when the nuptials will take place but, seeing as how Carrie is having her gown custom-made and it’s just starting to be made, I don’t think it’s going to be any time soon. It sounds beautiful though, and very “Carrie.” From People,

“Carrie Underwood and her fiancé, NHL hockey player Mike Fisher have been busy planning their nuptials since getting engaged in late December. And while the Grammy-winning country singer’s fans have been lapping up every detail–including her preference of cupcakes over traditional wedding cake, and her dog Ace as the ring bearer–we’ve all been waiting for her to spill on “The Dress”. “It’s in the works,” the bride-to-be told reporters at the Pedigree Adoption Drive yesterday at the Bideawee animal shelter in NYC. “It’s really pretty. It’s very in the beginning stages and it’s very me. It’s just girly and pretty, and it’s simple and glamorous at the same time.” Still yet to be determined is the exact wedding date, but it seems like the happy couple is simply enjoying being engaged.”

Of course she had to pick her designer! You wouldn’t expect Ms. Underwood to wear off the rack, now would you? It sounds like it’s going to be a very grand affair though. I certainly hope that they weren’t planning on pulling this one over on the paparazzi because that could be easier said than done. What I’m waiting for is the invitations to go out. I still haven’t gotten mine.

Carrie Underwood and Mike Fisher Are Engaged!!!

Oh, be still my beating heart, they’ve gone and done it! Carrie Underwood and Mike Fisher have gotten engaged!! I am so super excited about two of my most very favorite stars getting together and preparing to spend the rest of their lives together! Well, it’s Hollywood so who knows if it really will be ‘to death do us part’ but these two have seemed to stay pretty real ever since they first hooked up so, it really could be the real thing this time. US has most of the details, what with how quiet the two were about their relationship in the beginning, and Carrie’s song to Mikey on her latest album. But it seems that there are little details to be given out about the engagement or the upcoming wedding, even though Carrie’s reps and Fisher himself have confirmed that the story is true. From US,

“Carrie Underwood and Ottawa Senator hockey player Mike Fisher are engaged, her rep tells UsMagazine.com.

“I’m happy to confirm that Carrie Underwood is engaged to Mike Fisher, and the couple couldn’t be happier,” the rep tells Us. “No wedding date has been set at this time.”

According to the Ottawa Sun, he also confirmed the news at a press conference Monday. He said he popped the question Sunday, but declined to offer any other details.

“It’s true,” he said. “We’re both obviously excited and very happy.”

His teammate Chris Neil said Fisher, 29, called him shortly after he proposed. “I think it’s great,” Neil told reporters. “It’s a long time coming. There’s going to be a lot of broken hearts in Ottawa with all those girls who are in love with Mikey.”

Underwood, 26, and Fisher have mostly been hush-hush about their relationship since they began dating last year.

But lately, they’ve been opening up.

Underwood gushed about the hockey player, 29, on the liner notes of her new CD, Play On.

“Thank you #12,” she wrote, referring to his jersey number. “You are the most amazing addition to my life! You are such a wonderful person and have had such an amazing hand in the building of this album and in the growth of me as a person. I love you so much! You make my life better in every way! I thank God for you every day… xoxo, Carrie.”

He also praised her singing during a recent chat on The Sens Show, a Web news program for his team.

“She can sing anything – I like it when she sings a good rock song,” he said.

He added that she was “very committed” and worked “extremely hard. She doesn’t get too many days off – a lot less days off than I get. She’s always going.”

Despite their tough schedules, “we always find a way to make it work,” he said.

Now that they’re engaged, are babies next?

In the January issue of Self, she opened up about wanting to start a family.

“Not that I have a husband to have one with yet, but someday I’d like a family – not a big one, but not a small one either,” she said. “Two kids is good; three is fine. Four? Somebody’s getting something done, because we ain’t having five!”

Aaaww, these two are so cute!!! I can’t wait to watch and see what becomes of them and I’m just so, so happy that this didn’t become another relationship that quickly headed for Splitsville. A very heartfelt congratulations goes out to both of them and we can’t wait to hear more about wedding details!

Mike Fisher and Carrie Underwood Both New at Relationships

So maybe the secret to a high-profile relationship is it stemming from two people who are very low-profile in their past dating relationships? So seems to be the case with Mike Fisher and Carrie Underwood, who have been very public about their relationship lately. Carrie has been showing up more and more often at Senators games and she also included a line on her new album, Play On to him, telling him outright that she loved him. Mike in response seems to be going with blushing and indirectly telling us that he feels exactly the same way about her. These two are just so cute it kills me!

And even though they do seem to love each other very much, neither of them are seriously thinking about marriage or moving in together at this point. Mike has both denied it and Carrie has made it very clear that her old fashioned values go farther than just into her songs. So even though I think we will see these two get married someday, it won’t be any day soon. From US,

“He’s a star hockey player for the Ottawa Senators today, but Mike Fisher might be turning over a new leaf: recording artist!

After his girlfriend Carrie Underwood wrote “I love you” to him in her new album’s liner notes, the 29 year-old athlete jokes, “I told her that when my CD came out, I’d return the favor.”

In an interview with the Toronto Sun, Fisher poo-poos marriage talk but admits that Underwood, 26, is only his second “serious girlfriend.”

“There has been only one other girlfriend, really,” he says. “It lasted a while, but it was a long time ago.”

Similarly, Underwood recently told Ellen DeGeneres that her one-year relationship with Fisher is “the longest relationship I’ve had.”

In the Play On liner notes, Underwood coos of Fisher. “You make my life better in every way! I thank God for you every day.”

“Obviously, it was very nice,” Fisher tells the Toronto Sun of the tribute. “I was happy she included me in something like that.”

Stressing their need for privacy, Fisher acknowledges, “we’re both happy with the way things are . . . I’m obviously happy . . .things are great off the ice.”

Last week on Ellen, Underwood stressed that they have no plans to move in together. “Call me old fashioned,” she said. “The next guy I move in with will be my hubby. Who ever that is. I’m not saying it’s going to be him.”

Sigh. These two make my heart pitter patter.

Tony Romo is Movin On

When Tony Romo and Jessica Simpson split up earlier this summer, most of the blame was placed on Jessica’s shoulders. Either she was drinking and partying too much, or she had a bad case of jealousy. Either way, it was Jessica’s fault, and I didn’t like it. Mostly because I think Tony Romo is a giant crap-pile. But now it seems that if they did break up, it may be because Romo was done with the serious relationship thing and wanted to move on to someone new. But has he really?

Yes, Tony Romo has a new girlfriend. She’s a beauty queen (literally), and the sister of Chace Crawford. Yep, she’s Candice Crawford, Miss Missouri. And why do I doubt that this new girl is actually new? Only because she looks like a carbon copy of Tony’s last serious girlfriends – Jessica Simpson and Carrie Underwood. I guess blonde locks and a killer smile is all you really need to date Tony. From Bump Shack,

“Jessica Simpson’s ex-boyfriend, Tony Romo, is reportedly dating Miss Missouri Candice Crawford, the sister of Gossip Girl star Chace Crawford. How did the quarterback meet the beauty queen!?!

The 22 year-old model currently works as a Dallas TV sports reporter covering Tony’s Dallas Cowboys team.”

I wonder if it will last beyond the NFL season? Tony has always been one that’s shown no fear about commitment. But after Carrie and Jessica, maybe he’s ready to just have a little fun without being Mr. Boyfriend. I just wish he had hooked up with someone who looked just a tiny bit different. It’s starting to get really boring seeing who Romo’s newest girl is when they all look exactly the same.

Tony Romo and Jessica Simpson: Splitsville!

Wow, I didn’t see this one coming! I really thought that Jessica Simpson would have Tony Romo entrenched in herself as much as she is for a very, very long time. And I also sort of expected that she would con him into doing a show after they got married. Something along the lines of The New Newlyweds, perhaps? But none of that is going to happen now as Romo has kicked Simpson to the curb. Not only did he dump her but he did it the day before her birthday. Normally I would say that that’s cruel and unusual. But seeing as how Jessica was planning a Barbie and Ken-themed birthday party, I’d say that Tony escaped some cruel and unusual punishment himself. And just in the nick of time, too! From US,

“Jessica Simpson and Tony Romo have called it quits, Usmagazine.com has confirmed.

A source close to Simpson confirms they broke up the night before her 29th birthday July 10. She was supposed to celebrate with a Ken and Barbie-themed party. (On Simpson’s birthday, Romo spent the night at Los Angeles hot spot My House.)

“She canceled her party because of this,” the source tells Us. “She’s doing OK.”

“Barbie party didn’t happen, but I turned 29 and feel like I am on top of the world yelling I LOVE GETTING OLDER!” she wrote on her Twitter page Saturday.

Later, she wrote: “Everyone needs to know that hope floats…grab the strings and pull it back to you… Falling asleep with my mom and the dogs. Please, Lord, give all of my beautiful fans, friends, enemies, and family rest. Bring all of us peace.”

A close friend of Romo’s tells Us of the split: “It’s been a long time coming.”

Still, another source tells Us the volatile couple could always get back together. “They go from one fight right into another, without a second break,” the source tells Us. “It’s always something with Jessica.”

Simpson’s rep had no comment.”

I wonder if the Dallas Cowboys are happier now that Simpson will no longer be a ‘distraction’ for Tony (if those rumors are believed to be true.) Either way, I’m sure that Tony’s much happier. I can’t imagine the patience that it takes to be dating Jessica Simpson. Not only is she the epitome of dumb blonde but she’s also the epitome of spoiled brat.

I wonder if Tony Romo will set his sights back on Carrie Underwood. There were also rumors while he was dating Jessica that he couldn’t stop himself from calling Carrie. Hopefully he’ll just focus on his football career now as Carrie seems pretty happy with her new beau, Mike Fisher too. Or will Jessica go back to Nick Lachey, who also recently split with his girlfriend, Vanessa Minnillo. I really don’t think that will happen either as I think Nick sort of hates Jessica now. I have nothing to base that on, except that I saw him getting endlessly frustrated with her on that horrible reality TV show they did together. But, these are all questions that we get to ponder as we wait to see who Jessica winds up with next. Who knows? If these ‘friends’ of Jessica’s are to be believed, these two could very well end up back together. But, I’m pretty sure that Tony has finally gotten fed up and isn’t about to go down that road again!

All the Fuss over Carrie’s Acceptance Speech

Carrie Underwood certainly made her presence known at the Academy of Country Music Awards on Sunday, as she always does, and this time she did it by taking home the Entertainer of the Year award. This made news for many reasons, mostly because she’s only the 7th woman ever in the history of the awards to win the award and because she wrested it away from Kenny Chesney, who had he won, been the winner for 5 years in a row. But this huge accomplishment was all overshadowed by Carrie’s own acceptance speech. Two things came from that speech - Carrie went public with her relationship with Mike Fisher and she embarrassed herself, in separate comments.

When thanking everyone that was important in her life, including her family and God, Carrie also thanked her beau-hunk, Fisher, who plays center for the Ottawa Senators. I missed out on seeing Carrie accept her award but you can clearly hear her beaming through the quote. From US, 

“When the former American Idol champ won for Entertainer of the Year, she used her acceptance speech to tell her boyfriend, Ottawa Senators hockey player Mike Fisher, that she missed him.

“Mike, baby, I wish you were here!” Underwood said.”

So not only did she confirm to everyone that she is indeed dating the hottie hockey player (because being seen at the games wasn’t enough) but it also seems to be quite serious. I mean, to get a shout-out during one of the biggest moments of her life, that’s really something. Someone else got a shout-out too but this one, Carrie really just wishes everyone would forget. 

This remark was made to Matthew McConaughey, in an effort to show that she has a sense of humor and listens to what her colleagues are saying, even when she’s on the edge of her seat just waiting for them to open that envelope. What happened was that Matt told a light-hearted story about boots and Carrie made a somewhat, very subtle, very innocent, remark about wanting to see his boots. Now I suppose the whole thing has gone so far that she needs to apologize for her comment. From FOXNews,

“Carrie Underwood was overwhelmed to have won “Entertainer of the Year” at the American Country Music Awards on Sunday night, but the moment did turn a little mortifying when she made a sexual reference joke to wanting to see Matthew McConaughey’s “boots” in her acceptance speech.

The Texas-born actor presented Underwood with the big award, but before his official duties he entertained the audience with a story on how he and his brother once took a road trip thru Texas to see Dwight Yoakam perform. While there the brothers tried to “pick up” a few ladies by telling them that they made a livin’ exclusively custom-making George Strait’s boots.

“We’re like, ‘Oh yeah. Say, as I a matter of fact, out in the parking lot, in the trunk of our white Corvette, we have the next year’s new edition white ostrich quill George Strait signed series that he’s gonna wear on tour next year.’ And they got pretty excited about that and said, ‘Well, can we see? Can we see? Can we see?’” McConaughey told the audience. “And we obliged … Point of the story is, we got lucky that night. Thank you, George.”
After taking the trophy from McConaughey, a tearful Underwood caused jaws to drop when she said:

“I don’t know what to say. I got nothin’ … I want to see those boots, Matthew.” (The audience erupted into laughter but somehow we don’t think his leading lady, Camila Alves, was so amused). And clearly, Carrie regretted the spur-of-the-moment sexual advance.

“I’m so embarrassed, I totally embarrassed myself. I just blanked,” Underwood told Tarts backstage, burying her head in her hands. “You want to say something eloquent in a moment like that and I embarrassed myself. I’m sorry Matthew, I’m sorry to my family. I’m totally embarrassed.”

I really hope that this is just a case of Ms. Underwood being a proper Southern belle and making apologies when really none are necessary and that she wasn’t actually forced to give this apology. There’s really nothing to apologize for and she really has no reason to be embarrassed. Don’t worry, Carrie, you’re always eloquent…and stunning….and perfect with Mike Fisher….
