According to a spokesperson for WeddingChannel.com, the couple met at a Jimmy Buffett concert in 2007 when McKenna was home on two weeks leave from Iraq. Lucier said her father, who had known McKenna for years through hockey and work, invited McKenna along for the concert that Lucier was also attending and sparks flew between them.

Maybe as part of the Dream Wedding, Jimmy will perform

Jimmy shows up, unannounced, and when the band kicks into Margaritaville or whatever at the reception he comes onstage and does the vocal....... And then from there jams with the band the rest of the night. I'm pretty sure whatever the band played, Jimmy could keep up with 'em.

Wouldn't that be awesome?

I'm sorry, you lost me at hockey.

I wonder if they'll do something crazy like get married at a Jimmy Buffett concert.

You'd have to be more than crazy....you'd have to be insane to do something like that.

Institutionalized perhaps.

Wonder if our friend Mr. Rum Jumbie was involved in this hook-up?



If Jimmy did a wedding do you think he would play Why Don't We Get Drunk...that would get grandma off the chair.

I may be in the minority here, but this kind of stuff p isses me off. I don't care if they met at a JB concert or on the moon, $100,000 for a wedding at any time, let alone this time of economic meltdown, is beyond irresponsible. And that's not even factoring in the likelihood of this marriage lasting in this age of divorce. It's this kind of excess that has gotten our country in trouble. That money could have gone to support much more deserving causes, such as folks who have gotten laid off or victims of natural disasters, etc.

Jimmy played it and dedicated it to me and my hubby at our wedding and someone here has the recording to prove it...

dSpending that money will be good for the economy.Will help businesses earn money. ..more than if the couple paid for it themselves.

A few businesses that probably aren't hurting for money? Sorry, I just don't see it. In the scheme of life I just don't see it making a major difference. What I do see is more and more people thinking that they have to have very extravagant weddings, and going into debt to do so. People trying to live well beyond their means is what got us into this mess in the first place.

Guess we're just going to have to agree to disagree on this one, Mal.

Nice story.

IMHO, weddings, and some people's excessive spending, are ridiculous. But that's just me. I've been married a few times, and never spent more than $1000.

If eHarmony doesn't work, try a Buffett concert!

Fins Up!
