Nick Carter and Lauren Kitt said "I Do" in a romantic Santa Barbara wedding on Saturday, Apr. 12, US Weekly reports. The Backstreet Boys member exchanged vows with Kitt during an outdoor wedding overlooking the beach.
The intimate ceremony was attended by fellow Backstreet Boys Howie Dorough, Brian Littrell and AJ McLean. Carter, who wrote his own vows, wore a black tuxedo while his bride stunned in a strapless mermaid-style gown with her hair tied up into a chignon.
Sources told US that McLean's daughter, Ava, was the flower girl. Guests told the magazine that the wedding was emotional and the couple looked completely happy and in love.
"Lauren held Nick's hand and dried tears from her eyes," the source said about the couple when they exchanged wedding bands.
"At the end of the ceremony they shared the longest wedding kiss I've ever seen," another insider told the magazine. "A full minute later they were still kissing. They seem crazy in love and thrilled to be married. You could feel the love bursting out of them."
One person missing from the wedding was Carter's little brother, Aaron Carter. According to reports, he was stuck at an airport in Washington D.C. His manager said that Aaron was never going to make it to the wedding because of previous contractual obligations but wanted to at least go to the reception, Guardianlv.com reports.
Carter popped the question to Kitt last year during a romantic vacation in the Florida Keys. According to US, the pop star proposed with a gorgeous, 7-carat pear shaped diamond ring.
"Happiest day of my life 4-12-2014. I married my best friend and woman of my dreams. Lauren Kitt Carter honeymoon time!" the pop star tweeted following the nuptials.
The wedding was filmed for a made-for-TV special.
