Country Quickie! …..A Texas Wedding, Award Winners and More….

Miranda Lambert told 93.3 Jake FM in Oklahoma City that she and husband to be Blake Shelton will be wed in the great state of Texas. She said, "We decided we're getting married in Texas, and that's all I can say as far as that goes, obviously [laughs]. But um, you know, it's… I'm from there and it's not too far from Oklahoma, so we thought it'd be a good place." More than likely the couple will wed in Lambert's hometown of Lindale, Texas where her parents still live. The country couple will be tied together in holy matrimony on May 14.
