Sara Evans and Jay Barker exchanged wedding vows on Saturday evening in a outdoor sunset ceremony in Franklin, Tennessee, near the country singers home. The bride’s eight year old son Avery walked his mother down the aisle. Evans three children and Barkers four children were the couple’s only attendants.

Barker, former NFL football player, is an Alabama radio personality. His duties include ESPN sports analyst, and on air hosting duties on Opening Drive at WJOX radio in Birmingham.

Evans wore a ivory silk taffeta Vera Wang and her groom was dressed in a Dolce and Gabbana suit. The elegant affair was attended by 130 guests, all dressed in black. They enjoyed a down home menu of Southern fried chicken, country pole beans, biscuits and macaroni and cheese catered by Constant Craving. The crowd danced beneath a canopy of lights to R&B and pop hits spun by a DJ.

Nashville songwriter Marcus Hummon, a close friend of the bride sang Good Bless the Broken Road, his Rascal Flatts hit. The song believe that it speaks to their relationship together. The man responsible for introducing the couple, theologian, inspirational speaker and best selling author Joe Beam, performed the ceremony.

The couple, both divorced last year, went public with their relationship in November 2007 and announced their engagement in March 2008. People magazine reports that Evans had this to say about their relationship:

It was hard for me to believe he was real and that he loves me the way he loves me. I thank God many times a day for bringing me Jay.”

The name calling will hopefully end now for Sara Evans and Craig Schelske. A Tennessee judge finalized the country star’s divorce on Friday.

Evans will have to pay Schelske $600,000 in alimony, with the option of making annual payments of $60,000 over 10 years, and Schelske will hang on to their two homes in Oregon. Not too shabby!

If I were Sara, I would just date from here on out or just lease her homes. She could save herself a some money.
