Last night Big & Rich star John Rich married his girlfriend of 5 years, Joan Bush.  The gathering was small and intimate with only two dozen family members in attendance to witness the exchanging of their vows.

The reception that followed the wedding was anything but small.  The party took place at the former home of Barbara Mandrell, Nashville Fontanel Mansion, which is also where John’s show Gone Country is filmed.

Surprised that John had a girlfriend?  So were we.  The pair have been very careful to keep their relationship private.  Bush, a former model, owns a modeling agency in Houston.

Congratulations to the couple – we wish them well.
