Because Wright is Christian and Blitzer is Jewish, the duo opted for an inter-faith ceremony, with both a reverend and a rabbi presiding.

Before coming out in 2010, Wright told NBC's Today Showthat she "was hiding. I was gay, and I didn't want anyone to know that I was."

"Country music has been described as being about God and family and country," she said. "And for some reason people think that you can't be gay and have those beliefs. That's why I have to do this. I have to be one to step forward."
