Los Angeles - US country singer Kenny Chesney says his wedding to Renee Zellweger has made him "incredibly happy".
The pair surprised fans when they announced they had married in the US Virgin Islands on Monday.
Chesney said in a statement, "I am incredibly happy. I may well be the luckiest man alive. To be so in love with someone who is so perfect for me. It's just hard to imagine that I'm not going to wake up."
Chesney, 37, has apparently carried a torch for Zellweger, 36, for some time.
He once named her as his favourite actress and said the inspiration for his 1999 hit You Had Me From Hello came from seeing her say the line in 1996's Jerry Maguire.
Zellweger, who wore a strapless white silk wedding dress by top designer Carolina Herrera, wed Chesney in St John in the Caribbean before 45 guests following a whirlwind romance.
They first met four months ago at the Concert of Hope tsunami relief benefit where Chesney was singing and Zellweger was answering the phones.
But, plans for a honeymoon will have to be put on hold. Chesney is currently on a US tour while Zellweger is set to promote her new movie Cinderella Man. - Ananova.com
