Kelly Clarkson is one step closer to walking down the aisle, further dispelling rumors that she and fiancé Brandon Blackstock cancelled their wedding plans because they were headed for a split.

According to the Daily Mail, the singer and first American Idol winner picked up her marriage license from a Tennessee court house on Tuesday. The license is good for 30 days from date of issue, hinting that the singer will indeed do as she has said and "marry soon."

Clarkson and Blackstock became engaged last December after a two-year courtship, and originally planned to wed tomorrow in a big affair, but called off their wedding plans this summer after the stress got to them.

"I'm so over it, " Clarkson said at the time. "It's so overwhelming. We're just doing a lot-touring, and the wedding, and the Christmas album...so I'm over the wedding part."

The singer tweeted a day after calling off the affair that the couple planned to elope instead, favoring an intimate ceremony with just their closest friends and family, instead of a huge blowout affair.

Guests who had previously received Save-the-Date cards to the event then received an engagement photo of the couple in the mail, captioned "Thank you so much, but it's just going to be me and Brandon and his two kids and the minister."

The singer did recently hint that the quickie wedding would happen soon, saying on October 10th "We are getting married and it's really soon. I'm actually really excited because I actually get to go home tonight because I went straight from tour to here. So we're getting married very, very soon. "
