Rodney Atkins weds

Country star Rodney Atkins is a married man after exchanging vows with singer/songwriter Rose Falcon in Florida. The happy couple tied the knot on the beach on Captiva Island on Sunday (10Nov13), with Atkins’ son Elijah, from his first marriage, serving as the groom’s best man.
The nuptials were made extra special by the fact that Atkins had asked Charles Hutchins, the founder of the children’s home where he spent much of his youth before he was adopted by Allen and Margaret Atkins, to officiate the ceremony.
The date was already of significance to Atkins – his parents wed on that day 51 years ago, and the newlyweds decided to mark the special occasion by presenting the singer’s mother with a three-carat aquamarine ring.
Atkins began dating Falcon following his 2011 split from first wife Tammy Jo amid allegations of domestic violence. He was cleared of the assault charge and their divorce was finalised in September, 2012.
