Country Star Ty Herndon Marries Alex Schwartz in Tennessee Wedding
The pair got engaged in February after six months of dating with Herndon sharing at the time: 'It has been an amazing journey'
Country star Ty Herndon and Alex Schwartz are officially husbands! On Sunday, Herndon — who announced the pair's engagement in February — took to Instagram to share the happy news.
"Alex and I made it official here in Tennessee last night!," he wrote alongside a series of wedding photos highlighting the night. "Thanks to family and friends for making it unbelievably special!"
More than 300 people — including Kristin Chenoweth — attended the wedding, according to People.
The festivities, which took place at Owen Farm in Chapmansboro, Tennessee, included "the formality of black and white juxtaposed against the casual backdrop of the farm," he told the outlet.
"We like to call it country chic and everyone loved having a little bit of both experiences," he said. "We just wanted a space and a place that could accommodate our eclectic group of friends and family to celebrate love, life, and our future together. That was the main thing that was important to us — and that everyone have a lot of fun."
The evening was filled with musical performances by Anita Cochran, Matt Bloyd, Jamie Floyd + Jimmy Thow and Shelly Fairchild and an array of southern bites from Al's Diner and Deli in Nashville.
The pair got engaged in February after six months of dating.

"Well y’all, I have a little news to share — actually some big news," he wrote. "The last six months God has showed up and showed out. Never in a million years would I have imagined meeting someone who would bring so much love and light into my heart."
"Alex and I met six months ago and had our first date," he continued. "Since then, we have been building our relationship and getting to know one another without a big public announcement. It was important to each of us that we be able to do this privately, and it has been an amazing journey. After all this time, I have met the person I know I'm gonna spend the rest of my life with."
He concluded: "Alex is a brilliant artist and craftsman who restores mid-century furniture and makes stained glass art. He will also be starting work on his MBA soon. He’s a smartie, y’all — and I can’t wait for all of you to get to know him. Today, we are excited to let you know that we are planning a wedding! That’s right — we’re getting hitched later this year! Here’s to life, love, and wellness! We’ll see y’all soon."
