Hayley Williams wore a lace wedding dress with short sleeves, her bright orange hair in a low chignon. The ceremony was reportedly held at the Franklin Theater in Nashville. The bride later changed her outfit for the reception, donning a white t-shirt, with Chad Gilbert's name printed in red across the front, revealed Us Weekly.
A local restaurant hosted the reception and fans posted photos of the newly married couple, cutting their cake and enjoying their first dance, shared In Style.
Fans speculate that the Paramore Song "The Only Exception," was written for Gilbert. The Grammy-nominated tune was released in 2010.
Hayley Williams and Chad Gilbert had their share of challenges in their relationship as well. Gilbert revealed how "Ressurection," his band's pop-punk album, helped him work out relationship woes.
"Hayley and I, we'd been dating six years, and we hit a rough patch in our relationship, and it was great, being able to get that out in these songs," shared Gilbert. "It made things better for us," cited NiagarathisWeek.
