Country Singer Chely Wright Ties The Knot With Domestic Partner

Twitter

Chely Wright and her partner Lauren Blitzer are newlyweds! The twosome, who both wore white wedding gowns, tied the knot in Connecticut on Saturday.

Blitzer, 30, Tweeted the above photo and the following: "The Blitzer-wrights."

Wright, 40, came out of the closet last year. During an appearance on Oprah back in May 2010, the country singer opened up about her struggle with coming to terms she's gay.

"I was told in church that there were building blocks of sin and evildoing, and these words were strung together to scare me—drunkard, thief, adulterer, homosexual. I thought, 'That's what I am. I prayed every day for God to change me. And it was: 'Dear God, please don't let me be gay. I promise to be a good person.' I said that prayer every day, multiple times a day."

The new bride even admitted to having suicidal thoughts back in 2006. Wright is now a happily married wife. Congrats!
