I have no idea which of these wedding stories you want to hear about more, so you’re getting both of them in one post. Yesterday, Miranda Lambert and Blake Shelton got married in Texas, and on Friday, Caleb Followill of Kings of Leo married Lily Aldridge (Victoria’s Secret model) in California. Do you care about one of the couples more than the other? Personally, I care more about Blake and Miranda, but because I think Blake might have some issues (the alleged homophobia stuff) and I was stunned to see that Miranda – while very cute/pretty – is 27 years old yet looks a decade older.
It’s official: Miranda Lambert is a married woman! The 27-year-old “House That Built Me” singer wed longtime love Blake Shelton late Saturday evening at Texas’ Don Strange Ranch, the couple confirms to Us Weekly exclusively.
Wearing her mother’s wedding dress, Lambert walked down the aisle in front of 550 family members and friends (including Reba McEntire, Cee Lo Green, Martina McBride, Dierks Bentley, Charles Kelly and the Bellamy Brothers).
“I’m married to my best friend!” Lambert told Us after the ceremony. “Looking forward to a lifetime of laughter.”
Added Shelton, 34: “I wanted to be married to Miranda the day I proposed. Finally, it’s official!”
Dating since 2006, The Voice mentor asked for Lambert’s hand in marriage last May. “I fumbled it up a little,” he told Us of the proposal. “It’s funny how you rehearse those things and go over what you want to say, but I probably screwed it up.”
Fortunately, Lambert didn’t seem to notice. “He did a really good job,” she insisted. “He’s always nervous around me, though — and that’s how I like it!”
This is the first marriage for Lambert; Shelton was married to Kaynette Williams from 2003-2006.

It all sounds very sweet. I like that Miranda could have gone with some big designer wedding dress but she wore her mom’s. That’s cool.
Moving on… Caleb and Lily’s wedding sounded a lot more expensive and fancy:
It was a ceremony fit for a King and a Queen. When Kings of Leon rocker Caleb Followill wed Victoria’s Secret supermodel Lily Aldridge at San Ysidro Ranch in Montecito, Calif. on Thursday, the couple were joined by Caleb’s bandmates and brothers, Nathan and Jared Followill, as well as his cousin, Matthew Followill.
Hours before the intimate ceremony began, Caleb, 29, and Aldridge, 25, enjoyed a family breakfast on the patio overlooking the garden. “Caleb and Lily had coffee and pastries and everyone sat around chatting,” a source tells Us Weekly. “There was a relaxed vibe and everyone took their time eating and taking in the nice weather.”
Once the meal was over, Aldridge and a girlfriend left to begin prepping for the 5:30 p.m. ceremony; Caleb and his family stayed behind, where they tanned by the pool, drank champagne and played horse shoes. “Caleb seemed very relaxed and not nervous at all,” the insider notes.
Aldridge, who wore a custom-made Vera Wang gown, and Caleb, who looked dapper in a Gucci suit, “said their vows underneath a big tree with twinkle lights” just before sunset. “Lily cried throughout the whole thing,” a second source tells Us. Once the ceremony was over, the couple and their guests had dinner in front of a big stone fireplace, the source adds.
“It was a perfect day,” Caleb told Us on Friday.
The couple spent their first night as newlyweds in the Lilac Cottage, a one bedroom cabin featuring a king bed, a masonry fireplace, heated bathroom floors and an outdoor sunken hot tub and rain shower. The price? $1,200 a night.
The following morning, “Caleb and Lily met with their family again for a big relaxed brunch,” the source says. “Everyone sat outside for hours chit chatting and talking about the night.”

Meh. See, this one is boring to me. Rock star marries Victoria’s Secret model. It’s such a cliché. At least the Blake-Miranda pairing has some drama!
Congratulations to everybody, though. Mazel tov!
