The country stars, whowere engagedin what they called a “full-circle moment” in Nashville in June 2021, ultimately decided to postpone their Saturday wedding weekend as the city overcomes flooding and damage left behind from the destructive Hurricane Ian.
“First and foremost, please if you would, send down prayers and love to Fort Myers Beach,” Allen said in an Instagram video with Morgan posted Wednesday. “All the people down there are like a second family to us. Obviously, we were supposed to get married this weekend, but that is the least of our concerns. We are heartbroken for everyone that is losing their homes and their businesses right now.”
Announcing the news of their wedding postponement in an Instagram clip, Allen — who is currently competing onThe Voice— promised followers that they “can reschedule our wedding,” and explained that they shared the news in an effort to “let our guests know.”
“We’re gonna find another date in the future, but please if you would, please have everyone down, especially in Fort Myers Beach, have them on your hearts and your minds today,” Allen, 36, said.
Later in the clip, “Bridesmaids” singer Morgan, 27, spoke about what the postponement meant to her, sharing that the couple is “very sad” and “very upset.” “But again, this is the least of our worries. We still have each other. All of our friends are safe, and that’s all that matters.”
