Season 11 winner and Georgia's own Phillip Phillips has married his long-time girlfriend Hannah Blackwell.
He didn't let fame go to his head in his personal life, sticking with the woman who loved him before he became a household name in 2012.
I'm a little late on this one. Us Magazine reported this late last month while I was on vacation:
The American Idol Season 11 winner and Blackwell, both 25, tied the knot at the Resora Plantation, in front of 250 of their friends and family. The bride wore a gown by Hayley Paige, while the groom looked handsome in a Billy Reid tux.
