Bride changed into a cocktail dress for her reception: ‘I wanted to get my boogie on,’ she tells People. By Kara Warner Carrie Underwood on the cover of People Photo: Time Inc. Country princess and onetime “American Idol” champ Carrie Underwood’s wedding to Ottawa Senators center Mike Fisher graces the cover of People magazine this week and appears to have been every bit the fairy tale the bride envisioned for her big day. Married Saturday on the lawn of Georgia’s lavish Ritz-Carlton Reynolds Plantation Resort, the happy couple exchanged traditional vows in front of 250 guests. Underwood told People the one thing she worried about above all else was keeping it together throughout the ceremony. “My sister told me if I feel like tearing up to say the Pledge of Allegiance,” she said. “I must have said it 20 times that night!” The proud groom, who met Underwood through mutual friends at one of her concerts in 2008, said his bride looked simply “stunning” (dressed in a specially designed Monique Lhuillier gown). “I was thanking God for her, for that moment,” Fisher, 30, gushed. “It’s something I’ll never forget.” When the couple finally sealed their vows with a kiss, the only objector among the 250 guests was Underwood’s plucky rat terrier, Ace, who responded to the otherwise-enthusiastic applause by barking. “We were laughing, everyone was laughing, and Ace was barking,” Fisher said. For the reception, which was decorated with an overwhelmingly feminine, pink-hued touch, guests received their seating assignments via painted hockey pucks with their names written on an attached card. And Underwood changed out of her “huge” wedding dress in favor of a strapless cocktail dress — which Monique Lhuillier also designed. “I wanted to get my boogie on, so I had to change,” the 27-year-old told People. “The night exceeded all the hopes I had,” Underwood said. “It was a great party.” Share your well-wishes for the newlyweds in the comments below!
