"There were no celebrities," Cagle says, "This really was just very close people. Her father walked her down the aisle. And they partied at a local joint the night before."
It was also not a black-tie affair.
"In fact," Cagle says, "at the dinner the night before, they were in jeans and flip flops. The one thing she did was to have a custom-designed Carolina Herrera design because she always wears that."
So why the Caribbean?
"Kenny Chesney has a home on St. John," Cagle explains, "He really divides his time between St. John and Nashville. And there is this place where he told people once, this is the place that he goes to recoup and take a breath. And that's where they got married, because it's special to him. Also, you just can't get any more private or further away from the paparazzi than a private estate in the Caribbean."
And as with any quick wedding, the rumor is that she may be pregnant, but Cagle says, "She certainly has not indicated that to be true. I think, at this point in her life, she would like to start a family. We can probably expect that soon."
But for now, the couple has a lot of career commitments.
He says, "I think, like any celebrity couple, they become more than the sum of their parts. I think that it's certainly going to cause a lot more hullabaloo around 'Cinderella Man,' which is her new movie. And he's on tour right now, so there will be a lot more excitement around that."
This is the first marriage for both.
In the past, she has been linked romantically to Jim Carrey and Jack White, whom she met during the filming of "Cold Mountain." As for his past loves, Cagle says, "He broke up in 1999 with a woman who was a health care worker, a civilian. And they were engaged. But since then, he hasn't really been seriously linked to anyone."
