Carrie Underwood and her husband Mike fisher met at one of her concerts in late 2008 and got engaged December 22nd 2009. "Underwood and Fisher appeared together publicly for the first time in January 2010, at the Bell Sens Soiree, an annual fundraiser in Gatineau for the Ottawa Senators' official charity" (Wikipedia). However, after appearing at the CMT awards in January of 2010 Underwood told reporters that Fisher was planning a surprise honeymoon for the two of them after their wedding in the summer.
Shortly after in June of 2010 Underwood and Fisher got married at the Ritz-Carlton Lodge with over 250 people attending, "We could not feel more blessed to have found each other and to have shared this day with our friends and family that mean so much to us!” The ceremony featured classical music and readings of the bride and groom to be's favorite bible verses. Amongst the crowd where National Hockey League players, as well as Tim McGraw, Faith Hill, Garth Brooks, American Idol contestants, and judges Paula Abdul, Simon Cowell and Randy Jackson. For their first dance Underwood surprised Fisher with one of their favorite artists, Brandon Heath, singing his song "Love Never Fails".
"On February 11, 2011, an Ottawa radio station, 105.3 CISS-FM, banned the playing of Underwood's music because her husband, Mike Fisher, was traded to the Nashville Predators the day before" (Wikipedia). However, due to countless fan threats on Facebook stating that they would never again tune to the specific radio station again the station modified their statement. They apologized for their actions, staying that their statements were only to be meant as a joke as they do not play Underwood's songs anyway, and it was just their way of wishing Fisher the best of luck in Nashville. "Fisher later criticized the station saying "obviously Carrie had nothing to do with the move or the trade or anything so to imply something like that was just wrong", and noting that both he and Underwood were disappointed in the negativity that was created by the radio station" (Wikipedia).
Shortly after in 2012 Underwood was selected by The Hockey News on it's annual list of the 100 People of Power and Influence in Ice Hockey, she was ranked as number 85.
In September of 2014 Underwood and Fisher then announced that they are expecting their first child, due in spring of 2015. Fans have since then been raving about their new soon to be family.
