February is the month of love, so why not make it the month for your wedding? No more sending out invitations to country artists to your wedding. XTU is bringing the country artist right to you! One lucky couple decided to “Take The Leap” with a Leap Day Wedding right here at the XTU Studios and also enjoyed their first dance with a live performance from Scotty McCreery himself.
It all went down on February 29th, 2024. Our own Jeff Kurkjian from The Andie Summers Show is a marriage officiant and made it all official on the stage of our X Lounge.
Scotty McCreery
The winner of the tenth season of American Idol came to the XTU studios to perform at the wedding. Scotty McCreery also played a show that night at The Met for his Cab in a Solo Tour. Scotty is popular for his songs like You Time, Damn Strait, Five More Minutes, and This Is It. Check out McCreery’s new song, Can’t Pass the Bar, here.
Winning Couple, Kevin and Lisa
These two had far and away the most votes of XTU Nation both because of their family support but also their story is just so beautiful. Between them, they have four girls (say a prayer for Kevin). Their blended family is something is so beautiful, you can see it in the First Look video below.
XTU Nation voted for their favorite couple to be wed on Leap Day in the XTU Studios. The Andie Summers Show surprised the winning couple with a congratulatory phone call and they could not have been more excited! Tears were definitely shed! Listen to the phone call below!
This is it! Everyone at XTU was so excited to celebrate this special day with Lisa, Kevin, their daughters, family, and friends. If you look below, you will see our favorite moments from the big wedding plus a First Look at the wedding! Take a look.
Scotty's Performance
Of course, this has to be one of the best if not THE best moment of the wedding. For Lisa and Kevin, in their original letter, they said that “This Is It” would be their first dance song no matter what! So imagine their surprise when they heard about this opportunity from XTU, that Scotty will sing their FIRST DANCE. So so special.
The Bridesmaids, Flower Girl and Ring Bearer
As mentioned before, Kevin and Lisa have four girls between the both of them. They were all dressed in matching red and wanted to be a part of the big day. Their oldest, Gianna, was responsible for the rings. The twin girls, Leanne and Daphne, were bridesmaids. Their smallest one, Emerson, was the adorable flower girl!
The Food Was Incredible
Our sponsors are the ones that really made this wedding happen. Acme provided this AMAZING wedding cake. You can actually see them cutting it in the First Look video below. Plus, 1720 Bar & Restaurant catered the wedding and the food was unbelievable.
The Family
Let me tell you… Lisa and Kevin’s friends and family know how to have a good time!! We had a blast hanging out with all of them. They are definitely the kind of group that you would want to hang out with at a wedding. In fact, Lisa set it up to have Kevin’s best friend with him knowing, so that was an awesome surprise. Whiskey and champagne were had thanks to 1720 Bar & Restaurant, a great time was had by all!
The Teamwork
We here at XTU have the best team in radio. We are “small but mighty” as our boss describes us. You know The Andie Summers Show With Jeff Kurkjian, Donnie and Shannon and then of course, Razz and Nicole. We are the ones you hear from every single day on your radio. But we also have our XTU Crew. You see them at our events working hard, they were a huge part in making this day happen.
And then there is Rachel, our Digital Program director who worked really hard to make all of this happen as well. She is posing with Razz in the photo below (Far Left) along with our Market Manager, Joe Bell (Far Right)!
