kd lang has tied the knot with longtime guitarist from her band the Siss Boom Bang, Joe Piaspia. The couple wed on Sunday in a private ceremony in her hometown of Consort, Alberta, Canada.

The couple is crossing the border for a two week honeymoon in Niagara Falls.

“Joe and I have been playing together a long time. We finally made it official,” the Grammy winner and officer of the Order of Canada said in a statement released on Monday. “He’s lent his legendary finger-picking to all my albums. Now, I can enjoy it any time.”

Addressing her lesbian fans, lang said, “My constant craving for women subsided in late 2012 when I sang ‘Constant Craving’ for the 100,000th time. I looked over at Joe in the middle of that song and I felt a new craving.”

Further, lang warns, “Anyone who wants to remain a lesbian should cease listening to ‘Constant Craving’ immediately. ”

lang, who came out publicly in 1992, dated “The L Word” star Leisha Hailey for five years. She split with girlfriend of eight years, Jamie Price, in early 2012.

Raised in the small town of Consort with three siblings, two of whom are gay, she said, “My mom is so thrilled to have the kids back at 50-50, she said ‘Happy April Fool’s Day, Lesbian.com!”

“Drive” – Melissa Ferrick

Ferrick‘s most well-known tune — written on a dare and inspired by Janet Jackson’s music — has been turning women on and turning women out since it first appeared on her LP “Freedom” in 2000.

“Damn, I Wish I Was Your Lover” – Sophie B. Hawkins

You may want to make sure you have a fan nearby before watching this 1995 version with Melissa Etheridge on VH1’s “Duets.”

“Like The Way I Do” – Melissa Etheridge

This lesbian anthem anchored Etheridge‘s self-titled debut LP and remains one of the most recognizable opening guitar riffs in lesbian music. This tune could arguably belong on a “Break-up Playlist,” too — just depends on your relationship perspective.

“Constant Craving” – k.d. lang

The title of k.d. lang‘s 1992 Grammy-winning song pretty much says it all, no?

“Possession” – Sarah McLachlan

Though not a lesbian, McLachlan inspired many a girl-on-girl make out session with her 1993 “Fumbling Towards Ecstasy” release which included this obsessed fan-inspired track.

As of July you will be able to send love letters and Christmas cards with k.d. lang stamps on them. No pictures of the stamps have been released just yet, so it’s hard to know what era k.d. we’ll get, but I’d be fine with several different versions over the years. “Constant Craving” k.d., Vanity Fair k.d., Vancouver Olympics k.d. As I don’t live in Canada, I’m not even sure if I can use Canadian stamps, but I’ll buy them anyway.
