JEWEL & TY

Though they'd already been together for a decade, Jewel and Ty Murray finally made it official when they eloped in a private ceremony on Aug. 7, 2008, at the Cove Atlantis in the Bahamas. With only two guests present, the singer and her rodeo-champion groom celebrated their nuptials by dancing under the fireworks. "It felt like we were the only ones in the world," Murray told PEOPLE.
