LeAnn Rimes Ties the Knot

LeAnn Rimes is "Blue" no longer: The 19-year-old country diva has tied the knot with 21-year-old dancer Dean Sheremet.

Fresh off a legal settlement with her dad, Rimes walked down the aisle Saturday in Dallas, her publicist confirms.

No other details of the nuptials have been made public. The couple has been dating since last May, and they announced their engagement in December.

"What a wonderful, wonderful man," Rimes said on her Website after the engagement news. "I'm very, very happy."

Happy enough, it appears, that Rimes even set aside a long-simmering battle with her father, Wilbur Rimes, just in time for Saturday's Dallas ceremony.

LeAnn sued her father in 2000, accusing him and a business partner of cheating her out of $7 million. Wilbur Rimes soon fired back with his own countersuit, calling his daughter a "spoiled brat" and accusing her of unladylike conduct.

But last week, Wilbur Rimes confirmed that both father and daughter have now settled their legal disputes. "It is difficult to express just how happy I am that all of the legal troubles between my daughter and I are over," he told Nashville's Tennessean newspaper.

Rimes met Sheremet last May at the Academy of Country Music Awards in Nashville--not long after the singer broke things off with actor Andrew Keegan, whom she had been dating since she was 15.

She and Sheremet have been inseparable ever since. Rimes' Website (www.rimestimes.com) is filled with snapshots of the happy couple, including a photo of them celebrating his 21st birthday in Aspen, and Sheremet showing off an interesting gift from his fiancée--a snowboard adorned with a life-sized picture of LeAnn.

Given her jumpstart into adulthood, it's probably no surprise Rimes decided to get married before leaving her teens. With a voice reminiscent of Patsy Cline, Rimes burst onto the country scene at age of 11. Two years later, she scored a hit with her signature song "Blue," and picked up two Grammys in 1997 for her debut album.

More recently, Rimes performed at the opening ceremonies for the Salt Lake City Winter Olympics. And after settling another legal squabble with her label, Curb Records, in November, Rimes began working with pop producer Desmond Child on another new album for Curb, due out sometime this year.
