Country star Carrie Underwood isn’t planning to stick totally to tradition when she throws her wedding later this year. “We’re kind of doing cupcakes.” The country star said this week on a radio show. “I consider myself a very traditional person. More than anything, we’re going to get married, that’s the important part. And we want everyone to have a good time, so we’re doing some things like that, that are a little bit different.”
But Underwood isn’t settling just for any old cupcakes. She’s got her eyes set on those from IveyCake in Franklin, Tennessee. The country superstar proclaims that IveyCakes “makes the most amazing cupcakes in the universe.” There’s some sentimental value there, as well, as IveyCakes is run by Ivey Childers, the wife of Underwood’s bass player, Mark Childers.
Underwood admits that they’re trying to keep the wedding small. One thing that is not small, however, is that engagement ring. Diamonds of that size (a whopping five carats!) and shape (brilliant round diamond) typically go for large sums of cash. Experts from the Diamond Information Center estimate Underwood’s extravagant engagement ring to have a value of $150,000. Underwood previously expressed her affection for her fiancee by writing in the liner notes to her most recent album, Play On. “You make my life better in every way! I thank God for you every day.”
