Like fellow country star Shania Twain, Kellie Pickler started 2011 as a married woman! The singer eloped with her fiancé, Kyle Jacobs, exchanging vows January 1, 2011 in a “small intimate ceremony on a private island in the Caribbean,” her rep confirmed to PEOPLE.
Kellie also tweeted the news on Tuesday, writing, “Private Island. Caribbean. Cigar in one hand, Rum in the other. Someone just called me ‘Mrs. Jacobs.’ …. Sounds nice 
”
The couple had been dating for about two years when Kyle asked Kellie to be his wife on a Florida beach on June 15, 2010. The date was particularly significant for Kellie, as it is the birthday of her late grandmother, Faye Pickler.
“We both felt like we got my grandmother’s blessing,” Kellie said of the proposal [via PEOPLE]. “It was the most spiritual moment. We would’ve gotten married that night had there been a preacher walking by!”
Congrats!
