Scotty McCreery gave one special couple a wedding gift they won't ever forget!
The country star surprised Air Force veteran Lucas Cubic and how now-wife Emily Renner, a volunteer firefighter in West Virginia, with a virtual performance after they were forced to cancel their wedding plans due to COVID-19. The couple fell in love with McCreery's hit song, "This Is It," after seeing him in concert on one of their first dates.
"That song, it means so much to us. Every single word is like a story for how our relationship has gone and where it’s going to," Emily explained during an interview with Hoda Kotb and Jenna Bush Hager on the Today show.
After being forced to cut their guest list down by more than 100 people, Lucas decided to reach out to the country star in an effort to life his wife's spirits. "Every now and then one catches your eye and you're like, 'You know what, I think we're going to do this,'" McCreery said of Lucas' letter.
"It was just a huge shock to see Scotty up there and just the stress that we went into planning this wedding and then to see him take time out of his day to sing us a song, it just made it a lot easier for us," Emily said of the performance.
"The fact that one of my songs means to much to y'all is incredible," McCreery said. "As a military vet and volunteer firefighter they've done so much for us already. This is the least that I could do, so congratulations y’all and thank you for letting me play a little small part in your big day."
"This Is It" was the second single off McCreery's Seasons Change album.
