Jerrod Niemann and Morgan Petek Say 'I Do' in Puerto Rico

Jerrod Niemann wed longtime girlfriend Morgan Petek in a cliffside ceremony in San Juan, Puerto Rico, on Sunday Oct. 13.

The bride and the "Drink to That All Night" singer exchanged vows at sunset overlooking the Atlantic Ocean atop the historic Spanish fort Castillo de San Cristóbal, reports People.

"I'm looking forward to seeing what the world has in store for us as a married couple," Niemann, tells the popular magazine.

Instead of asking for toasters and blenders as wedding gifts, the couple were philanthropic, requesting that their guests make donations to Niemann's Free the Music USA, which puts instruments in the hands of kids who otherwise could not afford them, according to Taste of Country.

Niemann and Petek were engaged roughly a year - the singer got on one knee in October 2013 while they were in New Orleans, Louisiana. It didn't go smoothly, however. The singer's initial plan was to pop the question on a horse and carriage ride, but Petek didn't want to wait in line for horses who should be out on a farm. Luckily, Niemann is fast on his feet and he came up with a new plan that was just as sweet.

"We walked over to this statue in Jackson Square, and I just turned to these ladies and said, 'Would you be kind enough to take our picture? I think we might be getting engaged,' " said Niemann, reports People. "Morgan was like, 'What?' Then I took out the ring. Morgan was crying; the ladies were crying ... It was a cool moment."
