When did Cade Foehner and Gabby Barrett get married?
Their relationship moved pretty quickly since they were very smitten with each other from the beginning.
They got engaged in March 2019 and their engagement took place in the same hotel where they met for the first time when competing on American Idol.
The couple then got married that October.
Barrett explained why they got married so soon, saying, “We thought, ‘What’s the point in waiting years and years if we already know we’re going to be committed to each other forever?’ So may forever start now. It is a blessing to find a husband or wife in this life, marriage is a profound and special thing, and we are so excited to finally be husband and wife.”
They had their wedding in Garrison, Texas.
Barrett explains, "Texas is such a perfect backdrop for the start of our marriage. The setting of our wedding in the woods really influenced the décor and feel of our big day."
She added, “I spent a lot of time [in Texas] this summer with his family — it’s a great place to get off the grid and relax. The venue is in a neat little private area down some dirt roads, which totally fits our style.”
They wed in front of 100 guests since Barrett states, “We wanted a small, intimate wedding with close friends and family.”
Since they are both singers, their first dance song was carefully chosen.
They landed on the song “Sleep Walk” by Santo and Johnny Farina because, “It’s such a beautiful melody,” Barrett said. “It feels really cinematic and special, and I think it’s going to make the moment memorable for us.”
