On Sunday, the 45-year-old country singer walked his niece, Jordan Cheshire, down the aisle as she got married to Clint Eudy at the Troubadour Golf and Field Club in Tennessee.

In July, Bryan opened up to PEOPLE about how hefinds purposeafter enduring a series of unthinkable tragedies over the past 25 years.
“I’ve had so many tragedies in my life,” said Bryan, “it’s almost like you don’t want to tell the story because you don’t want to feel like you’re out there craving sympathy.”

In the interview, Bryan acknowledged he was born on the sunny side — “thank God I’ve always been a pretty joyful person” — but he’s had to deliberately bend toward the light to see his way through the tragedies. He said he still feels a deep connection to his brother, sister and brother-in-law, believing that he has three guardian angels. (Bryan’s brother Chris died in a car crash.)
“Maybe Chris and Kelly and Lee have moved some puzzle pieces around to make my life so fortunate,” he said. “When I say my prayers at night, I have to say, ‘Thank y’all for looking after us down here.'”
