Thomas Rhett married his longtime love, Lauren Gregory in Nashville this past Friday October 12th. The ‘Something to Do With My Hands’ singer had quite a few skeptics about his upcoming nuptials since he’s just 22. But Rhett Atkins, Rhett’s dad, told Country Weekly, that Luke Bryan had his back.
“Everybody told him no, this is not what he should do, except Luke. He called Luke three or four times and Luke was like, ‘Buddy, if you’re in love and you want to get married, then do it'”, says Akins. “I think Luke was a huge part of Thomas Rhett going, ‘Hey, I can do this’.”
Rhett made it down to Luke’s final show of his tour in Georgia the day after the wedding. This is what Luke had to say about the couple:
“When I saw them stare at each other the entire 20 minutes they were saying their vows, it’s like these two people are meant to be together. They are beyond in love,” he says. “Everybody there that had doubted or wondered if they were too young, all the doubts are gone now.”
The couple are now honeymooning in Hawaii and Thomas will spend the remainder of 2012 on the road with Chris Young. Congrats going out to the happy couple!
