“Strawberry Wine” Singer Deana Carter Gets Married

Deana Carter and Jim McPhail tied the knot on July 6 during a private ceremony at The Pearl Hotel in Rosemary Beach, Fla.

Deana’s sister in-law, Jessica Carter, officiated the ceremony while her brother, Jeff Carter, gave her away. The couple met through mutual friends and fell in love over the past year. The newlyweds will split their time at their homes in Los Angeles and Santa Rosa Beach, Fla.

“This is a special time for both of us” said Deana and Jim in a joint statement. “We are extremely blessed to have met during this season of our lives and blending our families into one happy one.”

Deana scored a handful of No. 1 hits in the mid-1990s, including “Strawberry Wine,” “We Danced Anyway” and “How Do I Get There.”

Congrats to the happy couple.
