The 35-year-old country singer gets married to his longtime girlfriend in Puerto Rico.
- Oct 13, 2014
AceShowbiz - Jerrod Niemann tied the knot with his longtime girlfriend, Morgan Petek, in a cliffside ceremony in San Juan, Puerto Rico on Sunday, October 12, PEOPLE reported. According to Jerrod's rep, the couple exchanged vows seaside at the Spanish fort Castillo de San Cristobal.
The "Drink to That All Night" singer told the site, "I'm looking forward to seeing what the world has in store for us as a married couple." In lieu of wedding presents, Jerrod and Morgan have asked their wedding guests to make donation to Free The Music USA.
Jerrod got engaged to Morgan in October 2013 in New Orleans. At that time, his proposal plan didn't go as smooth as he had hoped. The "Shinin' on Me" crooner originally planned to propose to her during a horse-and-carriage ride, but Morgan refused to take a ride because she thought horses belonged in a pasture.
"We were walking over to Jackson Square, and we turn the corner and see, like, 13 carriages just waiting for someone to rent them," Jerrod told the site last year, "So I'm like, 'Hey, you want to take a ride?' She's like, 'Nah. Horses are supposed to be in pastures, not walking the streets of New Orleans!' I just thought, 'Oh, crap!' I was literally frantic."
The "What Do You Want" singer then quickly improvised. "We walked over to this statue in Jackson Square, and I just turned to these ladies and said, 'Would you be kind enough to take our picture? I think we might be getting engaged,' " he shared, "Morgan was like, 'What?' Then I took out the ring. Morgan was crying; the ladies were crying ... It was a cool moment."
