Country crooner Carrie Underwood is officially off the market, following her weekend wedding to Ottawa Senators hockey player Mike Fisher. PEOPLE reports that the 'American Idol' winner wed Fisher at the Ritz Carlton in Greensboro, Georgia, on July 10.
Fisher and Underwood, who began dating in 2008, tied the knot in front of 250 family members and guests, including Garth Brooks, Faith Hill and 'Idol' judges Paula Abdul, Randy Jackson and Simon Cowell.
The bride, who wore a "huge" Chantilly lace and silk organza gown by designer Monique Lhuillier, changed quickly into a cocktail dress following the ceremony, explaining, "I wanted to get my boogie on."
Underwood was accompanied down the aisle by her rat terrier, Ace, who sported a Swarovski-studded pink tuxedo.
"Mike was like, 'He's in pink! What are you doing?'" Carrie says, "But he looked so handsome."
According to EOnline.com, the tiara Carrie wore -- a gift from the groom -- was more than 40 carats of diamonds.
Guests found their table assignments on hockey pucks, and were treated to a four-course dinner, including sushi, risotto lollipops and a wedding cake made entirely of cupcakes.
The ballroom was also bathed in pink. "There was pink lighting and pink things hanging from the ceiling, flower balls and ribbon and sparkles," Carrie describes.
In a statement issued by the couple regarding their nuptials, they exclaimed, "We could not feel more blessed to have found each other and to have shared this day with our friends and family that mean so much to us!"
The 27-year-old singer and 30-year-old hockey player got engaged last December.
