Here's the official word:
Dierks Bentley Elopes to Mexico
Singer Weds His High School Sweetheart
By: Hazel Smith
Dierks Bentley's roomie, Jake the dog, is going to have to move over. The highly eligible bachelor eloped to Mexico over last weekend (Dec. 17 and 18), sources in Nashville confirmed. He and his longtime girlfriend, Cassidy, spent the weekend at an undisclosed location in Mexico where they were wed. Natives of Phoenix, Ariz., Cassidy and Dierks were high school sweethearts.
After the wedding, the couple returned to Nashville where they had dinner with Make-a-Wish Foundation staffers. Dierks confessed to close friends that his mom was a bit sad that she didn't get to see him get married, but he said she is OK now. A couple of years ago, Dierks traveled alone to Mexico and found a spot he loved. He made the decision then that if he ever got married, that would be the place. Dierks and his family and Cassidy and her family will travel to Colorado where they will spend the holidays together.
He will travel to the United Kingdom in January for three shows which are a part of the Country Music Association's New From Nashville concert series. The concerts take place Jan. 16 in Dublin, Jan. 17 in Glasgow and Jan. 19 in London. The Glasgow date is part of Celtic Connections 2006, a music festival taking place Jan. 11-29. Bentley was presented the Horizon Award at the recent CMA Awards show in New York.
Here's a picture of the happy couple, taken in April 2005:

Oh Heidi :(
But seriously - if I was a celebrity, I'd elope too. I mean I'd want a little privacy on my wedding day and that would be the only way to get it.
As for those other people you list - I have *no* idea who they are LOL!!
Yeah, I can see the reasoning behind it. I mean he kept it quiet for over a week. That's got to be pretty special.
As for the other people...tell me you've heard of Garth Brooks...we watched him and Trisha in Victoria...or at least *I* did :P
Blaine Larsen is a new singer from Tacoma, WA. He's only 22 but he got married the day Di and I were hanging out down there. We *could* have crashed the wedding!!!
~Heidi
OK - Garth I know - but I doubt I'd be able to pick him out in a line up LOL. The rest, nope :P
This is like what surprise wedding #4 or #5 in the past several months? Craziness! It'll be ok though, our day is coming soon twin!
Wishing we'd have crashed Blaine Larsen's reception ...
Di aka Emmy
