(Gray News) - Lauren Alaina, 29, married Cam Arnold on Sunday in a “big, loud” wedding in Nashville, People reports.

People reports that the couple had 450 guests including Jason and Brittany Aldean, HARDY, Lindsay Ell and Shay Mooney of Dan + Shay.

“Here’s the funny thing: I wanted a small wedding and Cameron wanted a big wedding. So we compromised and had a 450-person guest list,” Alaina told People. “I think it’s just a reflection of how fortunate we are. We have a lot of people who love us and we love a lot of people.”

The couple got married at the Schermerhorn Symphony Center in Nashville.

Arnold is a partner at a Nashville-based insurance firm. Alaina previously said she did not want to date a fellow celebrity or anyone in the music industry.

People reports that Alaina and Arnold wrote their own vows and included their two dogs and their nieces and nephews in the ceremony.

Alaina wore a custom Anne Barge gown that featured a “V-notched strapless bodice with a modified trumpet skirt of hand-beaded, floral-embossed jacquard accessorized with a pleated detachable overskirt, along with an Alençon lace long-sleeved mock-neck topper,” according to People. She also wore a chapel-length veil.

Her wedding bouquet was filled with white roses, scabiosa, calla lilies, agonis, anemones and dark green seasonal foliage, People reports.

Alaina and Arnold danced to “Feet Off the Ground” by Brent Cobb, a song that Alaina described to People as “our song.”

The reception was described as “casual” with no seating chart.

“I couldn’t even imagine assigning seats for 450 people,” Alaina told People.

The couple’s cake featured four different flavors with black icing and gold accents. Arnold had a Budweiser-inspired groom’s cake, according to People.

Alaina told People that the two will be honeymooning in Hawaii.

The couple started dating in 2020 after meeting at Luke Bryan’s Crash My Playa festival in Mexico. They went public with their relationship on Nov. 19, 2022, the day after they got engaged.
