Paradise Island, The Bahamas – Multi-platinum recording artist, Jewel and 9-time World Champion Cowboy Ty Murray said "I Do" at the Atlantis/Cove Resort in the Bahamas on August 7th. The longtime couple eloped to the islands to exchange nuptials.

"I dreamt about this day since I was a little girl on a ranch in Alaska," said Jewel. "It was relaxed and romantic. I wore a traditional wedding gown and diamonds and he wore jeans and a button down shirt! Ty's definitely my perfect prince."

"We both have been so blessed in our lives," stated Ty. "We're lucky to have each other and look forward to starting a family together."

Three-time Grammy nominee, Jewel, is currently on tour with Brad Paisley promoting her new country album, Perfectly Clear. In a classic example of life imitating art, her new single is titled, "I Do." The autobiographical track was written about her relationship with Ty, who is also featured in the music video.

The couple, who have been together 10 years, live on a 2200 acre working ranch in Stephenville, TX.

Jewel was the guest DJ at Atlantis’ Aura Nightclub on Friday, August 8^th, 2008. Her and her new husband Ty Murray were inseparable as they partied in The Round Room and hung out at the DJ booth where they spent most of the night taking pictures with fans while, taking breaks in between to hug and kiss each other.
