Parker McCollum's wedding didn't go as planned.

We found out some details about it when we talked to Parker McCollum this morning about his upcoming show next weekend at Jannus Live.

This show sold out quick!  Parker is a Guitar Pull alum and has made a big name for himself.  He's already got 2 big hits under him, "To Be Loved By You" and "Pretty Heart".

His new single is called "Handle On You".

Parker married Haille in his home state of Texas last year.  We found out that something happened at his wedding that didn't go as planned.  We also talked about Guitar Pull last year and how Patty Maroon from the Tampa Bay Lightning said he really liked Parker's set and then we told him how he got into that big fight the next day.
