NJ couple to get married at Country Music Awards

WASHINGTON TOWNSHIP, N.J. — A southern New Jersey couple will get married at the Country Music Awards show in Las Vegas on Sunday.

Christina Davidson and Frank Tucci were selected to be serenaded by nominee Martina McBride and Train lead singer Pat Monahan to the group’s single, “Marry Me.”

The Washington Township couple met at a grief support group that Davidson started after her husband died in a drowning accident in 2009. Tucci’s wife died of thyroid cancer two months earlier.

She had a toddler and one child on the way. He had a 2-year-old boy.

He proposed in December with the boys and himself wearing T-shirts that spelled out “Will You Marry Me?”

She tells The Courier-Post of Cherry Hill they are not just two people, but two families joining together.
