It’s been a minute since we checked in on Elle King, but she’s doing well! Over the weekend, Elle married her longtime fiancé, tattoo artist Dan Tooker, in a rustic-themed outdoor ceremony in Tennessee. Their two sons, Lucky Levi, five, and Royal, 19 months, were in attendance. Elle and Dan met in 2019 after she visited his shop to get a new tattoo. They got engaged in 2020 and broke up in 2023, but were back together by fall 2024.
I couldn’t find who designed Elle’s wedding dress, but she wore a white satin gown that was fitted past her waist and flared out in a gathered train. Dan was in a dark suit and tie with a white boutonniere that matched Elle’s bouquet. From People:
Elle King and her longtime partner, Dan Tooker, have tied the knot! King, 37, shared the news on Instagram on Sunday, Oct. 4, with a carousel of photos from the special day, which featured an outdoor ceremony and rustic decor.
“Husband and wife. Best day of my life,” she captioned the post.
A representative for King did not immediately respond to PEOPLE’s request for comment.
In the photos, the Grammy-nominated singer-songwriter can be seen wearing a fitted ivory satin gown with a plunging neckline, a dramatic flared skirt and a train. She paired the look with a sheer veil.
Tooker, meanwhile, wore a dark charcoal double-breasted suit and a black shirt, accented with a white boutonniere.
The groom shared videos from the event posted by guests and loved ones on his Instagram Stories the same day. One of the snaps showed a moss green wedding cake with floral accents, complete with miniature fondant figurines created in King and Tooker’s likenesses. Another video featured the happy couple singing together onstage, while yet another showed them walking together with their two young sons, Lucky Levi, 5, and Royal, 19 months.
King first met Tooker in 2019 when she stopped by his shop to get a new tattoo. They got engaged in October 2020 and welcomed their first child together the following year.
King confirmed she and Tooker were taking some time apart in 2023, but she announced they had reconciled exclusively to PEOPLE in September 2024.
Congratulations to Elle and Dan on getting their happy ending! I’m a sucker for an outdoor wedding, and theirs looked like it was a lot of fun. Elle’s gown was simple yet lovely and Dan’s suit was sharp. I love that the boys were part of their big day. That cake topper was corny but hilarious. Their joy comes through in the photos. That’s a sweet story about how they reconnected after some time apart, and I wish them all the best.
The Sun reported that Elle’s estranged dad, Rob Schneider, was not at the wedding. I hope that was because Elle didn’t invite him and that he found out along with the rest of us.

I know she was on “say yes to the dress“… But I’m not sure if that’s the dress that she says yes to in the show.
The dress she chose on Say Yes was for her first marriage. It was exquisitely beaded, with long sleeves. It’s interesting that this dress is the complete opposite.
Her son is named Royal??? That’s my father in laws name, and he’s named after an uncle. I don’t know how it was a family name, but omg hearing it on a 19 month old is crazy.
I grew up reading the Little House books, and in one of them Laura Ingalls mentions that Almanzo’s brother is named Royal. That was the first time I’d heard of it as a name and thought that was kind of weird lol.
I love his tweed suit.1
