Singer and songwriter Brooke Eden exchanged vows with radio promoter Hilary Hoover for the second time on Thursday, October 27. The pair initially tied the knot at a legal ceremony held at a church in Nashville on August 27, attended by their parents and siblings.

The second wedding ceremony at the Paradisus Playa del Carmen resort in Del Carmen, Mexico, had 140 people in attendance, including family members and friends. In an interview, the couple stated that because their families lived far away from each other, they were unable to spend much time together. Speaking of the first wedding, they said,

“We had to get legally married in the states prior to Mexico, so we knew a Nashville ceremony with our families would be the perfect way for our families to bond.”

The newly married couple also stated that Hoover’s nieces and nephew and Eden’s niece became best friends alongside the other family members.

"Hilary's nieces and nephew became best friends with Brooke's niece (our flower girls and ring bearer) and so did the rest of our family. We've had so much support from family and friends that we really wanted to celebrate with everyone. "

Brooke Eden opted for the outfit she wore during the Love Inc. magazine cover shoot, which was designed by Savin London. They wore rings from a Nashville-based ring shop, Consider the Wldflwrs, and during the ceremony, they played a setlist of the best songs of the 90s. This was followed by a mother-daughter and father-daughter dance alongside a speech by Eden’s niece, Colbee.
