According to People, the country singer, 40, exchanged vows with the former soccer professional, 43, in a small wedding attended by 35 guests.
Among those present were Jana’s two children, daughter Jolie, 8, and son Jace, 5, as well as Allan’s son Troy, 16.
Jolie was the ceremony’s flower girl, Jace served as the ring bearer, and Troy ushered the guests in.
Their son Roman, whom they welcomed in November 2023, was also at the ceremony.
Roman adorably matched the other men at the wedding in a kilt by MacGregor and MacDuff.
While the men had their traditional looks on, Jana’s bridal party stuck with “twilight” colored dresses.
“I really just wanted Scotland to be the background, and that’s why I didn’t really care about having a certain color or a bunch of flowers,” Jana told the outlet.
“It’s such a beautiful country and that is what the spotlight should be on.”
The wedding included many nods to Allan’s Scottish heritage, featuring kilts, bagpipes, and kilts, as well as traditional Scottish music and food.
For her wedding day look, the Whine Down podcast host went with a Pronovias dress with a sweetheart neckline and traditional train.
When searching for the perfect venue, Jana said that she and Allan “really wanted it to be like everyone was together in one place.”
They eventually found the Scotland castle on Airbnb, which fit into the couple’s budget.
The couple’s emotional ceremony, where they exchanged their own vows, was followed by dinner and dancing.
The night was capped off with a fireworks display, which Jana said was her sole non-negotiable.
DISHING ON DETAILS
Jana explained the importance of having the ceremony in the first place, putting her young children at the forefront.
“I just knew that I wanted to marry him. We had talked about just going away and doing it ourselves, but it was important for me to have the wedding for Jolie and Jace, so they can see that we’re married now,” she told the outlet.
“I’ve also never been so excited to walk down the aisle to someone, and it didn’t need to be this big thing.
“It’s going to be very small and intimate and everything that we wanted.
“We’re getting married in Scotland, so the background is already stunning as it is. I just want to marry him, and I want my closest friends there. That’s all that truly matters to us and our family,” she added.
Allan agreed with his wife’s sentiment, adding that she was “really respectful towards my heritage in Scotland.”
