\n\tCongratulations are in order for Rory Feek, who married his 10-year-old daughter Indiana\u2019s teacher, Rebecca \u2014 who is also a longtime family friend \u2014 in a romantic ceremony on July 14.<\/p>\n
\n\tThe country star opened up about the ceremony on his blog, noting that the duo tied the knot under a \u201ctimber-frame pavilion here in Greycliff, Montana,\u201d adding that his daughter played a major role in getting the two married.<\/p>\n
\n\t\u201cWe knew marriage was a possibility,\u201d Feek shared in his post, \u201cit wasn\u2019t something that either of us felt like we could seriously talk about. Mostly because up until that time Indiana only saw Rebecca as \u2018Miss Rebecca her schoolteacher and our friend.\u201d<\/p>\n
\n\tHe then recalled Rebecca telling him about a conversation she had with Indiana in March. \u201cI asked Indy, and she told me that she said, \u2018Ms. Rebecca, I think you should marry Papa,’\u201d he noted. \u201cOf course, I was happy, but caught off guard and told her that that was something we\u2019d all have to start praying about.\u201d<\/p>\n
\n\tRory said that Indy told him and Rebecca: \u201cMy Mama\u2019s been gone a long time.\u00a0And if she marries you, maybe she could be my new mother.\u201d<\/p>\n
\n\tIn 2016, Rory\u2019s first wife Joey Feek died after a battle with cervical cancer. The duo performed under the name Joey + Rory. She was first diagnosed with cervical cancer in 2014, and Rory revealed in the fall of 2015 that they had decided to end treatment.<\/p>\n
\n\tDuring Rory and Rebecca\u2019s nuptials, the country star surprised his new wife with a song called \u201cI Do.\u201d See the full blog post here.<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
