Lady Antebellum singer Hillary Scott tied the knot with country musician Chris Tyrrell on Saturday (Jan. 7) in an intimate ceremony in upstate New York.

The couple posted a video on Lady A's web site on Sunday confirming the news. "We love you. We're so excited to be starting our life together, and we just had to let you in on the excitement," Scott tells her fans.

According to a post on the band's web site, Scott wore "a custom Vera Wang strapless mermaid dress with abstract all-over lace underlay," while the groom sported "a gray Ermenegildo Zegna suit."

Scott met Tyrrell while opening for Tim McGraw in 2010. Tyrrell popped the question over the Fourth of July weekend in Tennessee last year.

Lady Antebellum scored their second No. 1 album on the Billboard 200 with the September release of their third album, "Own The Night." In December, Lady A guitarist Dave Haywood also got engaged to girlfriend Kelli Cashiola.

Lady Antebellum's Hillary Scott Marries Chris Tyrrell

Lady Antebellum's leading lady, Hillary Scott, is now a married woman.

The singer announced that she married drummer Chris Tyrrell on Saturday in New York.

In a video message posted by the newlyweds on the Lady Antebellum website, they shared the good news. "We got married!" Scott said, with her new husband by her side. "We just wanted you to hear it from us first. We love you. We're so excited to be starting our life together and we just had to let you in on the exciting news."

The couple exchanged "I do's" in upstate New York in front of family and friends, People.com reports. Scott's Lady Antebellum bandmates, Charles Kelley and Dave Haywood, couldn't attend. But a rep for the band said, "They look forward to celebrating with both Hillary and Chris in the coming weeks."

Scott wore a dress designed by Vera Wang while the groom wore Ermenegildo Zegna. The twosome got engaged in July. "There is so much excitement at the beginning of a new relationship," Scott once told Billboard magazine about the song "Just a Kiss," which was inspired by her relationship with Tyrrell. "This song is about one of those times when your brain kicks in and tells your heart, 'Good things are worth waiting for.' "

In Redbook magazine, Scott said she fell for Tyrrell when she met him back in college. "We went to different schools in Tennessee and met through mutual friends," she recalled. "I thought off the bat that he was really attractive, and I could tell that he was kind. Kindness just oozes out of him. I wanted to date him when I met him! And he just wanted to play basketball."
