Singer Chris August Calls Marriage His Best Decision Ever
"Starry Night" singer Chris August married his fiance Katelin Cummings on Saturday, a day that he is pegging the "best day" of his life after salvation.
In a photo of a dapper August and his stunning bride, the singer took to Instagram with a heartfelt post about his big day:
I would say yesterday was amazing, but that would be an understatement. I would say it was life changing, but that's a given. Other than giving my life to Christ, it was the best day and the most awesome decision I've ever made.

As you can see in this photo, I couldn't stop smiling. The reason? She's standing next to me. A true blessing. During his speech at the toast, one of my best friends, Bryan Kluger, said 'many people say your wedding day is the best day of your life. Well, I hope that each is better than the last, making today actually the worst day of your life.'
We all laughed because it's funny, but it's very true as well. I married my best friend last night and I got to have so many of my friends and family there to celebrate it with me. I'm truly thankful for everyone that came to be a part of it.
I'm thankful for the sacrifices they made to be there. The costs. Their time. THANK YOU! Lastly, thank you to everyone who has been praying for us leading up to this day, and for the prayers you continue to bring to the Lord. We are striving to be more like Him every day. Loving the way He loves. I love you, Katelin!
The contemporary Christian musician began recording as a secular musician before switching to Christian music. His song "Starry Night" reached No. 1 on the Billboard Christian Songs and he has had much success in Christian music.
August proposed to his bride after attending the 2015 Dove Awards. During an interview with HIS Radio he detailed the entire evening, admitting that he carried the ring in his pocket the whole day even while presenting an award. He finally got on his knee at the famous pedestrian bridge in between downtown Nashville, and the Tennessee Titans stadium to propose.
August and Katelin met in her hometown of West Virginia while he was on the road. But he admits that the way they really connected is truly a modern day love story. It wasn't until the two began chatting on Instagram that sparks flew. After facetiming, August told HIS Radio that he eventually drove to meet her and her family.
August maintained that his new wife is way out of his league but he told her father that he promises to love her the way that she should be loved.
"Once upon a time I met the most beautiful girl I had ever seen. After getting to know her I realized her outer appearance didn't even compare to who she was on the inside. Her kindness. Her unselfishness. Most of all, her love for the Lord," Chris tweeted the day he proposed. "Which is why I had to go on and lock it down! She said yes! I love you!"
Likewise, Katelin took to social media the same day and said: "When I look at you, I have everything I've ever wanted and prayed for right in front of me. God sent me you when I least expected it and I'm beyond excited to start this new journey of my life with you by my side. I love you, always."
This modern day love story can be witnessed on social media as the two frequently share romantic messages about each other.
