Vanessa is married to Husband Landon Beard.

Vanessa Ray is married to her loving husband, Landon Beard, since June 14 of 2015. They were engaged in January of the year but took their sweet time to reveal their engagement to the rest of the world, which was only a couple of months later in March. The story of both their engagement and wedding will give you major marriage and relationship goals.

How Did They Meet; Their Engagement.

Vanessa Ray met her current husband, Landon Beard, shortly after her divorce in 2009 at a rehearsal. The two hit it off and began dating shortly after. It took a good 6 years of dating for Landon to know that Vanessa was the one.

So, he planned out a perfect engagement for his girlfriend. He took her on a cold but yet romantic walk in Pier 84 of the Hudson River, one of their best spots. After walking, Landon went down on one knee, revealing the ring and popping the question.

Vanessa Ray, of course, said yes but not without a bunch of follow-up questions. She asked him if he took her parents and her brother’s permission but most importantly, her best friend, Kelly Sullivan.

Landon then pointed her to a tourist who was clicking the pictures of the couple’s romantic moment, revealing that Kelly was in a wig and disguise. Landon had flown her best friend to witness their engagement. Now, that isn’t the gosh-darned romantic thing we’ve seen; then we don’t know what is.

Their Wedding.

They got married a few months after in June in a traditional-indie wedding. The entire ceremony took off with the couple having a sin-along with all the guests that all had their shakers and tambourines.

It was both the bride and the groom’s fathers as well who were officiating the wedding. Vanessa Ray couldn’t be a more beautiful bride, especially wearing two different dresses by Shareen and Carol Hannah.
