Sara Evans Weds Jay Barker

Franklin, Tennessee, was the locale for Sara Evans’ wedding to former University of Alabama football star Jay Barker. In attendance were the couple’s seven children.

Yes, we said seven. No, they are not together. Sara has three from her former marriage, two girls and a boy. Jay has four from his previous marriage.

Minister Joe Beam performed the ceremony. He is also credited with introducing the couple last fall. Additionally, songwriter Marcus Hummon performed “God Bless the Broken Road” which he cowrote. Friends in attendance were treated to friend chicken, pole beans, biscuits, and macaroni and cheese.

Sara says, “It was hard for me to believe he was real and that he loves me the way he loves me. I thank God many times a day for bringing me Jay.”
