Zellweger marries country star
By CNN Producer David Daniel
Monday, May 9, 2005 Posted: 9:52 PM EDT (0152 GMT)

Actress Renee Zellweger and country music star Kenny Chesney -- who met in January at a tsunami relief benefit -- were married Monday on the resort island St. John in the U.S. Virgin Islands.

A spokesperson for Zellweger confirmed the pair tied the knot on the resort island, with the bride wearing a Caroline Herrerra dress for the 15-minute ceremony on the beach.

Zellweger, 36, and Chesney, 37, met at the Concert of Hope tsunami relief event in January, and fans first learned of the romance April 29 when she brought him an on-stage margarita -- and a kiss -- at a concert in Jacksonville, Florida.

It's the first marriage for both, although each star has come close to tying the knot. Zellweger was engaged to actor Jim Carrey, and Chesney reportedly called off an engagement in 1999, just weeks before the wedding.

Zellweger, who has dated White Stripes singer/guitarist Jack White and Irish singer Damien Rice, won the best supporting actress Oscar last year for "Cold Mountain," and has received best actress nominations for "Chicago" and "Bridget Jones's Diary."

Chesney, the 2004 Country Music Association Entertainer of the Year, has had the number one hits "She's Got It All," "How Forever Feels," "The Good Stuff," and "When The Sun Goes Down."

The newlyweds won't have much time for a honeymoon: Chesney's next concert is scheduled for Thursday in Little Rock, Arkansas.

Who knows, it may work.
As they say,
"truth is stranger than fiction" Tongue

We could live on the Island of ST. JOHN too Cool

........more on this subject;

The tiny island of St. John, population 5,000, is more than two-thirds national park and is known for its hiking, pristine beaches and tranquility. It also has an underwater snorkeling trail.

Monday night's reception was being held at Peter Bay, an affluent gated community on the north shore of the island, residents said. The couple and about 45 guests gathered Sunday night at Rhumb Lines restaurant in downtown Cruz Bay, the main town on the island, according to restaurant employees.

Zellweger Weds Chesney

May 9, 2005

Talk about your whirlwind courtship. Just days after Renée Zellweger's rep told People magazine that she was in the "very early stages" of getting to know Kenny Chesney, the couple has pledged to stay together until they die.

We know, we know. We didn't see it coming either.

The sylphlike Oscar winner, who was recently linked to Irish singer-songwriter Damien Rice following her failed romance with White Stripes frontman Jack White, married the cowboy-hatted country crooner on Monday in a quickie 15-minute ceremony on the island of St. John in the Virgin Islands, her rep confirmed in a statement.

According to the Insider, a female preacher performed the surprise vow swapping (the first for both), which took place in front of a select group of friends and family. The blushing bride was outfitted in her customary Carolina Herrera, while the groom opted to go barefoot (no cold feet there, it seems). The twosome is said to have laughed a little and cried a little during the "I do's."

A reception was reportedly held Monday night at Chesney's house at Peter Bay, a swanky gated community on the island.

So, how the heck did this happen? Good question. The newlyweds apparently met at the Concert of Hope tsunami benefit in January and began an under-the-radar friendship. They went public with their romance little more than a week ago, when Zellweger, 36, planted a smooch on Chesney, 37, after delivering a margarita onstage during his concert in Jacksonville, Florida.

A few days later, the Southern sweethearts were spied "laughing and canoodling" at a Nashville restaurant, according to the Tennessean.

"She's some kind of cocktail waitress," Chesney told the paper through his rep. "I figured lunch was the least I could do for a tip."

He later gushed to People, "She's really, really cute."

It seemed destined that Chesney would eventually hook up with Zellweger. Not only has he called her his favorite actress, but he penned the hit song "You Had Me from Hello" after seeing her in "Jerry Maguire."

"When [Renée] said that in the movie, it was like instant. I said, 'That could be a wonderful song,'" he told USA Weekend in 1999. "There's only so many ways you can say 'I love you' and 'I hate you.'"

While we wish the happy couple well, we are a bit concerned over the similarities between their sprint into wedded bliss and that of Julia Roberts and Lyle Lovett.

You'll recall that back in 1993, the "Pretty Woman" megastar and the floppy-haired country singer also married in a shocker ceremony sans shoes. They filed for divorce 21 months later.

But hey, we're probably just being negative. Mazel tov!

Good for them! Hopefully they are happy for many years together. Far too many couples in the Hollywood scene break up nowadays!

If she was, it is no where in print, for anything I've read says this is her first.
We've known one of Kenny's band members for years.
Getting his take on the wedding from his folks will be interesting!

Their marriage has as much a chance of working out as any other.
It isn't as if the first time they ever saw each other was 3 months ago!

Marriage isn't the easiest thing in life we ever do!
Anything easier is being a kid, living at home! Wink

Clint Black-Lisa Hartman is still married.
Brad Paisley-Kimberly Willliams still married.

One thing I'm picking up on from these three marrriages is
the men wanted the ladies, and went after them.
That is until the lady caught them Wink

I remember this line from a song.
"A man chases a girl, until she catches him"!

As I've said many times, no matter how much a
woman wants the guy, it's still a man's world.
They ultimately make the choice.
The one they want is when you hear the Wedding Bells!
