The pair announced their engagement in November 2023 during Wilson’s sold-out hometown show in Louisiana, after months of keeping their relationship largely private to avoid public scrutiny. The couple opted out of a flashy Hollywood-style celebration, limiting their guest list to only 120 close friends and family members, including fellow country stars Miranda Lambert and Jon Pardi, as well as several of Hodges’s former NFL teammates. The ceremony space required no over-the-top decorations: planners only added arrangements of native Tennessee sunflowers, purple coneflowers and cedar boughs along the waterfall edge, and used reclaimed oak logs as seating for guests, with no raised stage or artificial backdrop to block the view of the cascading water. Wilson stayed true to her signature down-home country aesthetic, wearing a custom ivory lace long-sleeve wedding dress by a Nashville-based independent designer, embroidered with hand-stitched western roses along the 6-foot train, paired with her go-to silver sequined cowboy boots. Her 8 bridesmaids all wore pale blue midi dresses and matching brown cowboy boots, while Hodges wore a tailored khaki suit, a vintage cowboy hat and work boots that matched his groomsmen’s attire. The pair exchanged self-written vows over the sound of the waterfall, with Wilson tearing up as she promised to always make time for their relationship even amid her grueling 8-month world tour schedule, and Hodges joking that he had become her biggest fan long before they ever met, after listening to her breakout hit *Things a Man Oughta Know* on repeat during NFL training camps. Following the ceremony, guests moved to a nearby 100-year-old restored barn for a reception featuring slow-smoked Tennessee barbecue, peach cobbler and cocktails made with local craft moonshine. Wilson even took the stage with her touring band for a surprise 20-minute set, performing her hit *Watermelon Moonshine* as her first dance with Hodges. The couple will depart for a 2-week honeymoon in Alaska next week, before Wilson returns to her tour and Hodges resumes his work as a college football sports analyst.
