E! News first reported the wedding date, and Miranda’s rep confirmed that the marriage had taken place at Davidson County, Tennessee. Miranda wore an elegant long-sleeve ‘canyon’ lace dress made by New York designer, Lela Rose.
She confirmed this by posting photos from the wedding on Instagram accompanied by the words:
“In honor of Valentine’s Day, I wanted to share some news. I met the love of my life, and we got hitched. My heart is full, thank you, Brendan McLoughlin, for loving me for me. ❤ #theone.”
Miranda and Brendan met in November 2018, when Miranda appeared on "Good Morning America" along with her Pistol Annies' bandmates, Ashley Monroe and Angaleena Presley, while promoting their new album "Interstate Gospel."
Brendan had been assigned to the "South Midtown Precinct," which covers the area where Miranda and her bandmates performed their single “Got My Name Changed Back” on the "Good Morning America" stage.

Brendan has been with the "New York Police Department" since 2013, and mostly works managing crowd control at concerts. According to PEOPLE, before getting married to Miranda, Brendan had welcomed a child on November 18, from a past relationship.
While Brendan might have been in a relationship, this is his first marriage. For Miranda, however, this is the second time she will be getting married. She was married to fellow country music star, Blake Shelton, for four years before the marriage ended in 2015.

Before she met Brendan, she stated in August 2018, that she was “happily single.” This was immediately after she had broken up with "The Turnpike Troubadours" band member, Evan Felker.

Miranda had dated Evan for a few months following rumors that she and Anderson East, a country music artist whom she was with for more than two years had called it quits in April 2018.
