    Rory Feek said “I do” again — eight years after the death of his previous wife Joey.

    The country singer revealed on his blog he married his 10-year-old daughter Indiana’s school teacher, Rebecca, on July 14.

    The couple tied the knot “under a beautiful timber-frame pavilion” in Greycliff, Montana, in front of family and friends where he surprised her with a special wedding song written by him.

    The 59-year-old wrote that he and Rebecca’s love story began with his daughter saying it was actually her idea.

    “Rebecca and I had committed to be together. To choose each other and see where it might lead. And although we knew marriage was a possibility, it wasn’t something that either of us felt like we could seriously talk about,” he explained.

    “Mostly because up until that time Indiana only saw Rebecca as ‘Miss Rebecca’ her schoolteacher and our friend. And although she had become much more than that to me, I was very careful to let Indy ‘figure it out’ on her own. And honestly, I wasn’t really sure if she ever could, or would, at all.”

    “Her love for her Mama is so great and so big in her life. Neither Rebecca or I wanted to hurt that in any way,” Rory wrote.

    “And so we just waited and watched to see if it might ever occur to Indiana that Rebecca could be more than just a friend to her Papa, and to her.”

    “I asked Indy, and she told me that she said, ‘Ms. Rebecca, I think you should marry Papa…'” he wrote.

    “And then Indy looked at me and said ‘and I told Miss Rebecca that my Mama’s been gone a long time. And if she marries you, maybe she could be my new mother…'”

    Joey Feek died in March 2016 after a two-year battle with cervical and colorectal cancer.

    Rory also has two daughters, Heidi and Hopie, whom he welcomed in a previous relationship.
