Witness: Carrie Underwood's Wedding Was "Romantic and Spiritual"
American Idol champ Carrie Underwood's wedding to Ottawa Senators hockey player Mike Fisher sounds like a modern-day fairy tale!
"The wedding was romantic and spiritual -- perfect Southern wedding," a hotel employee tells UsMagazine.com of the nuptials.
Underwood -- wearing a Chantilly lace Monique Lhuillier gown and a ban.do feather headpiece with Swarovski crystals -- said "I Do" in front of more than 200 guests at the Ritz Carlton Reynolds Plantation in Greensboro, Ga. At the ceremoney she wore Stuart Weitzman shoes and white satin AVALON sling-backs with Swarovski crystals to compliment a short Monique Lhuillier cocktail dress at the reception.

"It's a very popular place. It's both luxurious and secluded," another employee tells Us. "The men enjoy golf; the women love the spa. We go out of our way to make sure the day is everything you want."
But the 27-year-old country crooner and her athletic beau, 30, weren't the only ones taking advantage of the hotel's facilities.
"I saw all the guys golfing. They really enjoyed it," a source tells Us. "The golfing was a big hit -- it always is!"

After the ceremony -- which cost a reported $500,000 -- guests munched on "delicious" cupcakes and other Southern cuisine.
"Sometimes weddings can be stuffy, but this one wasn't," a bartender tells Us. "[And] the music was just normal stuff for a party -- the kind that makes you want to dance!"
By the end of the night, friends of the newlyweds made sure to express their congratulations by signing a wedding book.

"One of the guys from the [band] Sons of Sylvia signed the book for Carrie and Mike before he left on Sunday," a source says. "He wrote a quick message and passed the souvenir book to another friend."
Underwood and Fisher soon set off on their honeymoon; the couple was seen splashing around in the Pacific Ocean in Tahiti on Monday.

i love Mike and Carrie they are really nice people..i see them all the time when their in ottawa..im just in awe of her beauty "like seriously God that ain't fair!"...she has the beauty from inside and outside, she sweet, she can sing "wow" and her career is off the hook....so no wonder Mike married her he knows what a keeper looks like and he wasn't going to let her get away! smart, smart, and handsome man!
looks don't always matter, nothing is wrong with his chin, i think he's very handsome actually and i love masculine men anyway..who wants a pretty boy with the daintiest features..real men look rugged and rough and strong like mike!...plus carrie is a beautifull and smart girl and im sure he treats her like a queen, shes a strong woman she knows how to kick him to the curb if they are losers!
To me Carrie Underwood is so FAKE. Look at her she has the looks the voice and now the man. But she would not spit on any one of her fans if their hair was on fire. He is snotty fake show off. She better remember who got her where she is and what she came from , unstead of sticking that nose up in the air and thinking her fans are trash. What a joke she is

Very Cute Couple! Hope they have a wonderful honeymoon and marriage. They seem perfect for each other. I read he bought her a diamond tiara to wear in the wedding...I thought that was so sweet of him. Can't wait to buy People magazine on Friday and see all the pictures. I'm sure she looked beautiful!
I hope they last but hockey players are big time cheaters! I did think it was sweet though how they read their favorite passages from the Bible. Usually religious couples have a better chance of staying together. I'm still skeptical though!
I heard Simon thought the wedding singer was absolutely pathetic.
Chris you must be jealous because there is no way that he is ugly. I have seen tons of pictures and videos of Mike and he is gorgeous. Everyone takes bad pictures once in a while, although I don't think this picture is bad at all. Some people need to get a life.
Love them both! So classy! Best wishes!!!
Maybe its his personality that shines though hes not ugly at all. The wedding was probably beyond beautiful. I cant wait to see her dress, guaranteed I`ll want a replica!
I give these two about 2 years tops.
LOVE THEM!!! Can't wait to see the wedding pics.
