Jake Owen and his wife Lacey have one more blessing to be thankful for today, they welcomed their daughter Olive Pearl into the world in Nashville. What a way to remember what today, Thanksgiving, is all about! The newest addition to the Owen family weighed in at 6 lbs 3 ounces and will be called Pearl in honor of Owen's godmother who passed away in July. 

"Lacey and I are so excited to start our own family," Owen said in a statement issued by his publicist. "We are looking forward to teaching Pearl everything we learned from our parents and also learning from her." 

Congratulations Jake and Lacey!

Congratulations and Best Wishes to Lady Antebellum's Dave Haywood and His New Bride, Kelli Cashiola

Lady Antebellum is now an official happily wedded trio! The last single member standing shed that title this past Saturday, April 14 when guitarist Dave Haywood said "I Do" to fiancee Kelli Cashiola in Ashland City, TN at Front Porch Farms. Guests continue to rave about the ceremony, saying it was like something out of a movie.

The country group, Mockingbird Sun tweeted to their followers that "The Dave Haywood/Kelli Cashiola wedding was awesome. Like a movie. Wish them the very best!". Somewhat similar sentiments came from another guest who tweeted, "Back from secret wedding location. What a wedding! The whole thing was straight out of a movie. Congrats Dave and Kelli!"

People magazine featured the wedding photo which showed Dave sporting a crisp black suit and striped tie and Kelli appearing beautifully elegant in a white lace dress with what appears to be a satin sash tied into a ribbon on her back . Kelli wore her hair down in a natural style with a simple white flower in place of the traditional bridal veil.

Lady A's Charles Kelley and Hillary Scott were in attendance and singer/songwriter Dave Barnes provided the musical backdrop for the ceremony which took place outdoors.


We wish them nothing but the best on their road ahead together and of course LOTS of love.

 Mike Eli, lead singer of the Eli Young Band, has been the first of his bandmates down the path of love, marriage -- and now baby carriage. "I guess that makes me leader of the pack," laughs the Texas native, who shared news of his first child exclusively with PEOPLE as he and James Young, Jon Jones and Chris Thompson wrapped up their last show in Australia with Faith Hill and Tim McGraw. Eli and wife Kacey -- who celebrate their second anniversary Tuesday -- found out the good news on New Year's Day, and he's been reading up on his next role ever since. "She and her mom got me a couple books that I am reading, and it can be a little overwhelming," he admits. "I recommend reading them for the basics and what to expect during pregnancy, but they can’t teach you to be a good dad and a good partner. That's up to me to figure out." He has until August 2nd to do it, the date their first baby -- a girl! -- is due. Just in case she comes early, the band has carved out some off days from their summer gig on "The Great American Band Tour" with Rascal Flatts, Little Big Town and Edens Edge, which kicks off June 15th in Hartford, Conn. Hitting the road is already a little tougher, Eli admits. "We've been on the road so much for so long, and we like it, we love playing shows, but I think all four of us agree, now that we're all married, the urge to get home is a lot stronger than it ever has been," he explains. "Now that Kacey's pregnant it's even stronger, and I can only imagine what it will be like once the baby is born. It will be extremely hard to leave them." Eli Young Band will take a brief break from their current "Keep On Dreamin'" tour for the Academy of Country Music Awards in Las Vegas on Sunday, April 1, airing live at 8 p.m. ET on CBS. They are up for three awards, including Vocal Group of the Year. -- Kay West
