Hawaii: Today in History 8/10

8-10-2001 “Dixie Chick’s” Martie Maguire (31) weds actor Gareth Maguire in Kailua, Hawaii

Martie married Irishman Gareth Maguire on Aug. 10, 2001 in Kailua, Hawaii. The evening ceremony took place at a house being rented by Dixie Chicks lead singer Natalie Maines and her husband, Adrian Pasdar. The ceremony, conducted by a local minister, was held overlooking the water while a handful of friends including both Maines and Martie’s sister and bandmate Emily Robison looked on. The bride wore a dress by Austin designer Jyl Kutshe. The Josephine style wedding dress, designed and created in less than a week, was made of layers of white, ivory and off- white shredded cotton gauze. It was described as “very organic” with an empire waistline, “V” neck and deep “V” in the back. The train was made of long trails of the shredded gauze. She wore no jewelry and was barefoot. The groom wore ivory linen pants by Dirk Bikkemmberg and a slightly sheer white dress shirt by Costume National. He also was barefoot. “It was very simple. I did my own makeup and Natalie did my hair,” says Martie.
