The moment arrived on New Year's Eve, when she slipped into a white, floor-length creation embellished with beading for the non-denominational ceremony. Clutching a bouquet of dark crimson roses, the bride's fingertip veil-- attached to tresses tinted with scarlet streaks-- gently swayed as she walked toward the groom, who presented the singer with a wedding band to accompany the engagement ring which has graced the performer's finger since August 7, 2007, when Ruzicka promised forever to the budding recording artist on stage at the Allstate Arena in Rosemont, Illinois.
Shortly after the celebration ended, bridesmaid Jordin Sparks shared the joy of the day with fans on MySpace. Serenading the newlyweds with a rendition of "I Wanna Hold Your Hand" for their first dance, the microphone was later handed over to the bride, who sang the touching contemporary country classic, "Lee Ann Womack's "I Hope You Dance," for her new husband and his mother.
