Jake Owen Ties The Knot Barefoot in Hometown

Jake Owen and Lacey Buchanan tied the knot  at a family-only beachside ceremony in Owen’s hometown of Vero Beach, FL.

The couple met on the set for Owen’s music video “8-Second Ride” and the bride also starred in his “Barefoot Blue Jean Night” video.

Appropriately, both were barefoot for the sunrise ceremony. Twenty-two-year-old Buchanan wore an Amsale Aberra gown and Owen sported an Armani white linen shirt and Tommy Bahama pants.

Buchanan’s sister Leah served as maid of honor, while Owen’s twin brother Jarrod was best man and his uncle, Ron Owen, presided. A sit-down brunch reception was served on the patio of the Vero Beach Hotel and Spa.

“A best friend for life,” Owen said on his official Twitter account this morning. ”I now have a wifey [smiley face] my face hurts from smiling. What a wonderful way to start the rest of my life.”

Owen proposed to Buchanan in front of a sold-out crowd of 5,500 in Vero Beach exactly a month (4/7) from Monday’s ceremony.

Although Owen was empty handed when he popped the question, a 2.5-carat oval-cut diamond was chosen to inlay a custom Lizzy Raye Jewelers design from Atlanta.

For Owen, the weekend turned somewhat rocky when he was arrested on Cinco de Mayo in his hometown. The singer’s Twitter feed explained the incident but those tweets have since been replaced with an apology.

Owen will hit the road with Tim McGraw and Kenny Chesney in Tampa, FL on June 2 for the Brothers In The Sun Tour.
