HARDY’s Wife Caleigh Says Friends Dressed Up as Country Star for Her Bachelorette

HARDY‘s wife, Caleigh Ryan, saw a lot of her husband-to-be at her bachelorette celebration back in 2022.

On the Sept. 4 episode of the House Guest podcast, 28-year-old Caleigh reflected on her nuptials to the country star, 34 — and revealed the hilarious moment during her New Orleans bachelorette party when all of her bridesmaids dressed as HARDY.

“We did one of the nights where everybody dressed up like Michael,” she said, referring to the “PSYCHO” singer, whose full name is Michael Wilson Hardy.

“And some of these outfits were so convincing,” she added to host Kenzie Elizabeth. “Seriously, people were taking pictures with my friends. One of Michael’s friends from his hometown just so happened to walk past the bar we were at on Bourbon Street and grabbed my friend Amanda, and was like, ‘Dude, what’s up, it’s me.’ Literally thought it was him.”

A video posted on Caleigh’s TikTok account in 2022 featured footage of the festivities. Set to HARDY’s song “SOLD OUT,” the soon-to-be bride and her group of bridesmaids could be seen standing around a room, all wearing dresses.

The group then danced and sang along, as Caleigh wore a glittering silver cut-out dress — before her bridesmaids swapped their outfits for HARDY-inspired costumes. Many of them rocked drawn-on facial hair, a Nine Inch Nails T-shirt and gold chains around their neck as they shotgunned cans of beer.

“If there’s one thing we’re gonna do, it’s a THEME dammit,” Caleigh joked in the caption of the post. “Hardy Gras 2022!!!!”

HARDY and Caleigh tied the knot on Oct. 29, 2022, in front of 350 of their friends and family at Diamond Creek Farms in Nashville. The bride wore a custom-designed dress by Naama & Anat and Haut Bridal, before changing into a mini “exit dress” for their post-reception afterparty.

Speaking with PEOPLE ahead of their wedding, Caleigh said her favorite thing about their relationship was getting to know HARDY’s “softer side.”

“He is very caring and very thoughtful and a very loving person,” she said. “A lot of people don’t get to see that. It just makes it feel that much more special to me that I get to share those moments and sides of his personality with him.”

The couple welcomed their first child, daughter Rosie Ryan Hardy, on March 7, 2025.

“It’s different now, especially with the baby being here,” HARDY told PEOPLE in July, amid his JIM BOB Tour.

“I don’t know what’s in store, but I know that I’m not going to be partying like I used to,” he joked. “I mean, we’ve always had a very safe, fun vibe out here.”

“If you’re going to raise a kid on the road, I feel like a nice, fun environment is key,” the musician added. “I’m excited for that very much. But yeah, it’s probably a good time just to chill with the partying a little bit. It’s time to grow up a little bit.”
