Bo Bice Bags Bride
A new bride and a number one single? Second place ain’t half bad for Bo Bice. The "American Idol" runner-up tied the knot June 15 with longtime girlfriend Caroline Fisher in their hometown of Helena, Alabama. The newlywed news was confirmed Thursday by Roger Widynowski, publicist for Bice’s label, RCA Records.
The swapped vows in an intimate ceremony at the New Hope Presbyterian Church with just immediate family present, says Widynowski.
The duo managed to keep the ceremony as hush-hush as possible. Their hometown paper, the Shelby County Register, just got around to announcing the duo’s engagement this week. Perhaps it was Bice taking out the marriage certificate under his legal name, Harold Elwin Bice Jr., that helped keep the nuptials under the radar.
Meanwhile, the bride’s mother, Wanda Sue Fisher, is denying a March report in Star Magazine that her daughter is pregnant.
Bice, 29, met Fisher, 24, two years ago in his prefame days as a guitar store clerk. He became a regular at the Hoover, Alabama, restaurant where Fisher waited tables.
Per People, the couple already share a two-bedroom home with a veritable menagerie of pets, including three dogs, three cats and two turtles.
News of Bo’s wedding comes a day after his first single, “Inside Your Heaven”/”Vehicle,” opened at number one on the singles charts. Bice’s rocking rendition knocked Idol winner Carrie Underwood’s version of the same song down to number two.
The Bices have a few weeks to honeymoon before he is due to hit the road with his fellow finalists on the eight-week American Idols Live Tour, which kicks off July 12 in Sunrise, Florida. In between dates, Bice will continue to work with Clive Davis on a debut solo album, which is slated to drop this fall.
