Ryan Adams and Mandy Moore Got Married In A Secret Ceremony
The country-rock firebrand Ryan Adams has married his beautiful young girlfriend Mandy Moore in a secret ceremony in Savannah, Georgia, last week on March 10. The report of their marriage originally appeared on PerezHilton.com. According to the gossip site, the singer-actress, 24, and Adams, 34, applied for a marriage license on Tuesday afternoon at the Chatham County Probate office in Savannah, according to a court source, who adds that the famous couple went unrecognized. A source told the site, “She’s very, very happy.” Another source told Perez that Adams “is completely head-over-heels about her and a changed man.”
The quiet wedding ceremony lasted eight minutes. “She was thrilled to be getting married. She was giddy but not in a childish way. She was obviously so happy,” Pastor Steven Schulte told People.com. “I thought it was either somebody famous or somebody really bad.”
The pair got engaged just last month, after dating on and off for around a year. The couple started dating in December 2007, according to E! News, but didn’t make their relationship public until last March. Adams was quite vocal about why the couple broke up the following July, blaming the media’s constant presence as a cause. “Unfortunately, I am allergic to paparazzi and have found the best antidote to that sort of nonsense is staying behind the guitar and typewriter,” he said of the breakup. “[I'm] staying close to my support group of friends and bandmates and not engaging in activities that prevent me from taking care of myself or others.” Soon after the split, Moore was seen hanging out with former flame DJ AM after he survived a deadly plane crash, though the renewed relationship didn’t last long. Before long, Adams and Moore had reunited.
When he announced his break from the Cardinals and subsequent hiatus in January 2009, Adams expressed a desire to get on with his private life, writing in a blog post, “I am excited to step away. i lost more than anyone will ever know (hearing, someone i loved, my sense of dignity, a never ending losing battle with stage fright.”
“Hopefully, it can happen and slip by unnoticed by everybody. I guess we have to be sort of sneaky about it, but I’ll see what I can accomplish,” the former teen idol Mandy Moore said, according to usmagazine.com. She didn’t ever express an interest in a big wedding. “I kind of feel like, because I’ve been able to get married in a few films, I kind of got the whole giant wedding fuss out of my system,” Moore told the magazine.
“He’s a good egg,” Moore talks about Adams in the April issue of Marie Claire magazine, saying she is “in awe of him-his brain, his passion. He’s truly one of a kind”, as Just Jared reports.
Unfortunately, it seems that their honeymoon will have to wait as Adams is still on the road for the last time with the Cardinals, performing in Columbia, South Carolina. Adams’ tenure with the Cardinals concludes March 20th with a show at Atlanta’s Fox Theatre. Despite Adams’ assertion that he’ll take a hiatus once after the band’s final show, there have been reports that Adams is already working on a new album called Dear Impossible, his follow-up to 2008’s Cardinology.
