On Friday, American Idol alums Kat Luna and Alex Garrido tied the knot during an intimate wedding in Tennessee.

The couple, best known for their time on season 18 of the longstanding singing competition series, made things between them official during a ceremony held in a barn, according to People. 

The event's setting was uncharacteristic for a couple from Miami, but 21-year-old Luna apparently wanted her wedding to stand out from the crowd in terms of both the location and overall feel.

The singer told the publication: 'We both have always dreamed of having a barn wedding. Most couples that come from Miami usually go for a beach wedding, but we have always had a different idea of how we wanted our dream wedding to look.'

She also noted: 'We've been talking about this day since shortly after we met.' 

27-year-old Garrido's uncle officiated the ceremony, where the two singers reportedly came up with their respective vows on the spot.

Although the event took place in the midst of a global pandemic, the country singers took special care to keep their guests protected from any potential exposure to COVID-19, as social distancing protocols were in place for the length of the wedding and reception.
