Long before coming out as a lesbian, Wright struggled with embracing her sexuality for fear of what it might do to her music career.

Wright, however, navigated through her fears, and in 2010, she shared her truth with the world, and amazingly, it was this bold step that led her to Lauren Blitzer, who would later be her wife.

Two weeks after Wright publicly came out, she met Blitzer, who is an activist for the LGBTQ community, and with her fears long gone, Wright was able to pursue a relationship with Blitzer confidently. Speaking to "People" about their relationship, Wright said:

"The freedom of being out and open about who I am allowed me to find and fall in love with Lauren - the most amazing woman I've ever known."

After dating for a while, Wright and Blitzer took their relationship to the next level, and in 2011, the couple tied the knot in a 200-guest ceremony, which was held at Blitzer's aunt's house in Connecticut.

Three years after they officially started dating, Judd and Moser tied the knot in a private ceremony at Judd's farm in Leiper's Fork, Tennessee.

Sadly, shortly after their wedding, the couple experienced a great tragedy after Moser was involved in a motorcycle accident that resulted in the amputation of his left leg.

However, despite their trials and struggles, Moser and Judd have evolved stronger over the years and have gone on to do great things together as a couple. Love is indeed a beautiful thing!
