Yearwood, 29, and musician Robert Reynolds of the Mavericks were married Saturday at the Ryman Auditorium, former home of the Grand Ole Opry.
Del McCoury's bluegrass band provided the music.
The couple had been dating for 2 1/2 years.
Yearwood's albums "Trisha Yearwood" and "Hearts in Armor" each sold 1 million copies.
Tony Bennett, 67, says he has finally learned how to sing. He said he figured it out by listening to Luciano Pavarotti.
"It's just a technical thing, but I tried it and it was something I was searching for in my own voice," Bennett says in next week's edition of TV Guide. "It reminds me of Leonardo da Vinci, who supposedly said on his deathbed, `It's too bad I'm going to die - I'm just learning how to paint.' "
Bennett recently completed an "MTV Unplugged" performance that includes duets with k.d. lang and Elvis Costello. The program airs June 1.
But he says he won't change his music to suit the MTV generation, even though record executives have been urging him to update his style.
"They want you to do some big novelty song - some piece of junk you're going to regret the rest of your whole life," Bennett said. "If you deal with mediocrity, you're going to have to stay there."
British tabloids are awash with teasings that Prince Andrew and the Duchess of York might reconcile.
The reports are based on an evening they spent last week at a London nightclub and pictures of her visiting Andrew aboard his minesweeper. Afterward, they joined a crew party on a navy vessel docked nearby.
"They didn't stop gazing and smiling at each other," said one crewman. "It was like a scene from `The Love Boat.' "
