Phillip Phillips met Hannah Blackwell 11 years ago at a charity event.
“I’m so excited,” he says of new wife Hannah Blackwell. “What I love most about her is she’s my best friend and I can tell her anything. I just love her.”
“I feel like when I met Phillip, he was the answer to so many questions that I had. He just makes everything make sense for me,” Blackwell says.
It was only a few weeks ago that Hannah Blackwell thanked her best girlfriends who celebrated her last days as a single woman.
“Forever. Love these girls who drove hours and hours to celebrate my upcoming nuptials,” she captioned the fun photo.
Hannah Blackwell wore a Hayley Paige wedding gown and Phillip Phillips chose a Billy Reid tuxedo. The dashing couple enjoyed a Southern-style wedding reception following their nuptials. They will embark on a honeymoon later this week.
