RORY FEEK: FINDING PEACE THROUGH MUSIC



Rory Feek is still reeling over the death of his wife Joey, who died of cervical cancer in March.

Rory says he finds strength in listening to Hymns That Are Important to Us -- the last album he and Joey released together. He tells Billboard that he and their daughter, two-year-old Indiana, get up early and listen to the record. "Sometimes we'll listen and it'll make us smile. Indiana will do sign language to 'Jesus Loves Me,' just like she would with her mother. And then there are other times...I'm making eggs, and emotional, and Indy doesn't quite understand it. But that's part of it -- it's OK."

Through it all, Rory's faith is still strong. He says, "I don't understand all of the Bible, nor did my wife -- but I understand what faith is, and what faith requires."

RANDY HOUSER: MARRIED!

Randy Houser and Tatiana Starsynski are hitched!

The couple married Wednesday in front of 120 guests at the historic Homestead Manor in Franklin, Tennessee. The bride and groom walked down the aisle to Florida Georgia Line's new single, "Holy," with Randy's young son West and his dog Hawk serving as ring bearers. FGL's Tyler Hubbard was a groomsman.

The signature drink for the day was Randy's favorite, the Moscow Mule. The guests chowed down on Southern food served family style.

Because the bride and groom wanted their guests to be in the moment, they required that they check their cell phones at the door.
