    "Me and Brandon in our 'fancy' attire Fun night!" Clarkson, 30, tweeted a photo of the couple, who got engaged in December 2012 after nearly a year of dating.

    "My dress barely fit in the car for tonight's festivities," the "Mr. Know It All" singer captioned a funny photo of herself crammed into a car. "I feel like Cinderella! Thank you Oscar De La Renta!"
