On Sept. 20, Rushlow, 56, and Woodring, 55, eloped in the Rocky Mountains of Vail, Colorado, where Rushlow’s best friend and retired SEAL Mark Waddell officiated the ceremony.

The singer and Woodring met over 30 years ago at Miss Kitty’s Saloon in Marietta, Georgia, where Little Texas would perform before their rise to fame.
Since then, they had become great friends but went in different directions in life. Later down the line, a chance encounter brought them together again — and it was like “time stood still.”
“I would have never thought that Tim and I would reconnect after all these years. The love and respect we have for one another is such a gift,” Woodring says. “Tim brings such joy and laughter to my world. I am so honored to be his wife.”
Rushlow and Woodring got engaged in May. To honor the occasion, the singer-songwritershared a rare tribute post to his then-fiancée.
“Well most of you who know me know that I love my life but have always chosen to keep most of my private life just that,” he began. “It’s never been my style to post those things but I also realize that the best things happening in my life need to be celebrated and shared as well.”

After recounting how they met and eventually bumped into each other again, he continued: “Kelly has been a major blessing to me ever since and I am forever grateful to be in her life. We have talked, walked, laughed, cried, and shared something neither of us thought was possible in the last couple years.”
