Wedding Bells (Again) for Sara Evans
Los Angeles (E! Online) – If at first you don’t succeed…
Country music star Sara Evans married former University of Alabama quarterback Jay Barker Saturday evening in an outdoor ceremony on a farm in Franklin, Tenn. It’s the second marriage for both.
More than 130 guests witnessed the bride, 37, being escorted down the aisle by her 8-year-old son Avery. The black-and-white-themed ceremony was a family affair, with the couple’s seven children (Evans has three and Barker has four) serving as attendants.
Evans wore an ivory silk taffeta wedding gown by Vera Wang, while Barker, 35, wore a suit by Dolce and Gabbana. He hosts a morning sports radio show in Alabama.
The couple announced their engagement on March 24 and were introduced to each other last year by their minister, Joe Beam, who performed the nuptials. They had each turned to Beam for support after their respective divorces.
Barker’s 14-year marriage ended in the summer of 2007. Evans’ 13-year marriage to politico Craig Schelske came to a grinding halt in October 2006 amid allegations of infidelity on both sides. The ugly, high-profile divorce began while she was a contestant on Dancing with the Stars.
