Crystal Bowersox recently made the insightful, intelligent comment that one's wedding isn't nearly as important as one's marriage.

With the first step taken care of, the American Idol runner-up can now focus on the second. That's right: Bowersox married fellow musician Brian Walker in Chicago yesterday.

"Our lives have never made more sense than they do right now,” Bowersox told People. “I can't believe how incredibly lucky we are to have found so much laughter, love, and light within each other. We're one happy WalkerSox family."

Ha! WalkerSox! We love it.

Bowersox and Walker got engaged in September.

Approximately 60 friends and family members were in attendance at the ceremony, including Crystal's young son and former Idol contestant Didi Benami.

Following the celebration, and a subsequent brief honeymoon, the artist will return to the music studio and put the finishing touches on her debut album. We wish her the best!
