Music sensation Carrie Underwood and her sports star husband, Mike Fisher, are all set to rejuvenate their marital bliss with a romantic second wedding at their rural estate, sources reveal. Having navigated the tumultuous tides that have threatened many marriages, the couple is now eager to commemorate their journey and commitment to each other.
The "Cowboy Casanova" vocalist, 40, and the retired 43-year-old hockey player, will mark their 13th wedding anniversary on July 10. The timing is ideal as it aligns with a pause in Underwood's hectic professional schedule.
Fresh off her successful "Denim & Rhinestones" tour and amidst another stint of her Las Vegas residency, the American Idol champion will soon have a well-deserved break. "Carrie and Mike are thrilled about spending substantial quality time together," an insider shared.
The couple is reportedly enthusiastic about hosting a grand celebration with loved ones to recognize this significant marital milestone and reaffirm their commitment.
The relationship of the couple, parents to Isaiah, 7, and Jacob, 3, has previously been strained over differing parenting styles, sources suggest. "Mike viewed Carrie as too lax with the boys, while she thought he was excessively rigid," the source mentioned. "However, they have managed to find common ground, considerably improving their marital dynamic."
In addition to surmounting their disagreements, the couple has also weathered the emotional devastation of three miscarriages.
Their upcoming vow renewal ceremony is poised to be a family affair, with their children included in the proceedings. The idea of having their sons beside them in matching tuxedos particularly appeals to Underwood, according to an insider.
The recommitment celebration is scheduled to occur on their sprawling 400-acre Tennessee farm. "The ample space ensures that they can have a grand, private event. It's the best of both worlds," the source concludes.
