According to People, Jewel encountered her future spouse at a 1999 Denver rodeo. She quickly moved to his 2,200-acre ranch in Stephenville, Texas.

The wedding was quite private and included only Jewel's ex-keyboardist Jason Freese, the officiant, and his wife Amy attending.

In their first marriage year, Murray told Cowboys & Indians magazine in 2009 that their bond felt more profound than that of typical newlyweds. Moreover, he reflected on their nine years together on the ranch. In Murray's regard, it felt like they had been married for much longer. He also highlighted their unique careers, noting that sometimes Jewel joined him, and other times he accompanied her.

"We get to spend a lot more time there than you’d think. When we’re together on the ranch we really have the whole day. We don’t get up and go to the office from 8 to 5. Both of us have unique jobs. Sometimes Jewel is with me… and sometimes I’m where she is. But when we’re at the ranch, we’re away from it all." Murray said.
