American Idol alumni Kat Luna and Alex Garrido tie the knot in Tennessee: “We’ve been talking about this day since we first met”
On Friday, American Idol, Kat Luna and Alex Garrido, knotted during an intimate wedding in Tennessee.
The couple, best known for their time in season 18 of the long series of singing contests, made things official between them during a ceremony held in a barn, according to People.
The setting for the event was not typical for a Miami couple, but apparently Luna, 21, wanted her wedding to stand out from the crowd both in terms of location and overall feel.
It’s official! Former American Idol contestants Kat Luna and Alex Garrido exchanged wedding vows at a ceremony held Friday in Tennessee; the two are seen competing during the show’s 18th season in 2020
The singer told the post: ‘We’ve both always dreamed of getting married in a barn. Most couples who come from Miami usually go to get married on the beach, but we’ve always had a different idea of how we wanted our dream wedding to look.
He also noted, “We’ve been talking about this day since we first met.”
Garrido’s 27-year-old uncle officiated the ceremony, where it was reported that the two singers presented their respective votes at the venue.
Although the event took place in the midst of a global pandemic, the country’s singers took special care to protect their guests from any potential exposure to COVID-19, as there were protocols of social alienation during the duration. of the wedding and reception.
Doing it her way: Luna claimed that while most Miami couples would have wanted a beach wedding or something, her and her now-husband “always had a different idea” about how they wanted their ceremony to happen
The two also kept their guest list relatively small to make sure all attendees could enjoy the evening safely.
“COVID didn’t really change our plans so much … we already had an intimate wedding idea with a small guest list and an outdoor barn venue,” Luna said.
After the ceremony, Garrido made the reception even more special, as he wrote and performed a special song for his now wife.
Don’t take any chances: the couple made sure that security protocols would be maintained during the wedding so that their guests would have the best time possible in the circumstances of the global pandemic.
Guests who felt like dancing during the celebration were allowed, as the already married couple had made provisions so that their friends and family could pass safely.
The country singer also maintains his post-wedding plans as he wants to make sure his new wife gets the most excitement wherever she goes.
Garrido stated, “Kat doesn’t really have a clue where we’re going … I’m surprising her with a honeymoon trip!”
In the spotlight: the pair first gained recognition for their passage through the long series of singing contests, where Garrido was eliminated during the second round and Luna held out until the third; they are seen together in 2020
The two first came into the spotlight during their audition for American Idol, where their skill as a duo led them to advance to the second round of auditions.
During her next appearance, the judges were impressed by Luna’s dramatic voices, but Garrido’s performance was not competent enough and his then-girlfriend made her way forward alone in the next round.
In her final round, Luna played Lady Gaga’s Always Remember Us This Way, which the judges obviously do not accept as they later removed her.
After both performers left the show, they signed an editorial agreement as a musical duo.
