Jana Kramer and former footballer Allan Russell tied the knot in an intimate ceremony in their home country of Scotland on Saturday.
The couple exchanged vows in front of 35 wedding guests at Carnell Estate, according to People.
“We had talked about going away and doing it ourselves, but it was important to me to celebrate Jolie and Jace’s wedding, so they could see that we’re married now,” she told the outlet of her decision to have a traditional celebration.
She continued: “I’ve never been so excited to walk down the aisle with someone, and it didn’t have to be something so big. It’s going to be something very small and intimate and everything we wanted.”
Before her wedding, the podcast host told the publication that she wanted to get married surrounded by only her closest friends and family.

“That’s the only thing that really matters to us and our family,” he stressed.
Russell agreed, also noting that Kramer is “really respectful” of his “Scottish heritage.”
The One Tree Hill alum, 40, shares her two oldest children with ex-husband Mike Caussin, as well as an eight-month-old baby boy, named Roman, with Russell.
According to People, their wedding “featured numerous nods to Russell’s Scottish heritage, including bagpipes, kilts, haggis pie, ceilidh (traditional Scottish music) and traditional Highland Games.”
As for how they chose Carnell Estate, she said they “really wanted” a place “where everyone was together in one place.”
“We were running out of options and everyone was asking me, ‘What are you doing? ‘ And everything was expensive, so I decided to use Airbnb. I booked the weekend we wanted and found the stunning Carnell Estate,” she said.
Kramer’s strapless wedding dress, which featured a sweetheart neckline and a “beautiful” train, was designed by Pronovias.
“I wanted to love the dress, but I also wanted Allan to love it walking down the aisle, so it was kind of a combination of the two things that we love. It’s got beautiful lace. I have a beautiful veil. It’s perfect,” the mother of three raved.

Her eldest daughter, Jolie, was the flower girl, while her son Jace was the ring bearer. Russell’s son, Troy, was the usher.
Kramer and Russell met after he sent her a private message on Instagram while she was living in England at the time.
“He was really sweet and kind in his messages and we started talking on WhatsApp. And then when I googled him, I was like, ‘Oh, he’s really cute. I thought if he’s ever in America, maybe I can hang out with him.'”
After finally meeting in Nashville in 2022, around Christmas, she said “the game was up” and they got engaged just six months later.
And, in June 2023, the lovebirds revealed that they were expecting their first child together.
Last November, she confirmed Roman’s birth on Instagram by sharing a photo of herself with him from the hospital.
“We had talked about going away and doing it ourselves, but it was important to me to have Jolie and Jace’s wedding, so they can see that we’re married now,” she told the outlet of her decision to have a traditional celebration.
She later told People: “Allan and I are very pleased and truly grateful to announce the birth of our son, Roman James Russell.”
“We feel blessed to have had the opportunity to create something so special together.”
They then revealed the reason why they decided to name their firstborn Romano.
“The name Roman isn’t really inspired by anyone, it’s just a strong name that we both love, but James (his middle name) was both of our grandfathers’ names, so it was a nod to them,” they told the outlet.
She was previously married to Caussin in 2015 until their separation in 2021 after years of infidelity on the part of the latter.
In June 2023, the lovebirds revealed they were expecting their first child together (pictured, after his birth in November).
After six months of dating, she revealed in May that Allan had asked her to marry him.
Allan is the father of a son, Troy, 16, and a former stepdaughter, Claudia, whom he raises with his ex-partner.
Jane previously said her kids are “super excited” to have a new sibling.
After six months of dating, she revealed in May that Allan had asked her to marry him.
“I have an announcement today. Allan and I have been dating for six and a half months. And he asked me to marry him,” she said excitedly on her podcast.
She detailed the moment he popped the question, explaining that they had just returned from a walk around their new neighborhood with their kids.
“It was a really beautiful night. We were all sitting on the porch by the stairs and just looking at the view, it’s breathtaking,” she said.
“And he said my name and I stood up or whatever and he got down on one knee and then Jolie started jumping up and down, it was the cutest thing in the world, it was like she knew what was going on.”
