James Durbin tells US Magazine that he and his fiance Heidi Lowe are planning a New Year’s Eve wedding. Their two year old son, Hunter, will be ring bearer! And fellow Idol alums Stefano Langone and Paul McDonald will be his best man and groomsman. Casey Abrams has been invited to the wedding, too.
Wedding deets are below, but you can read much more about James’ debut album Memories of Beautiful Disaster (out on Tuesday) his time on Idol and life with his family at US Magazine.
US: Totally. So how is it planning your wedding to Heidi while launching an album? That’s got to be a lot of work!
JD: I think a lot of the work happened because I was on the Idol tour and she was at home trying to figure out all this stuff for the wedding and being gone, and not being there for support – that’s tough. We’ve gotten the time to organize our stuff and to get all our decorations figured out and our food and everything, and she’s got her dress figured out. And I’m still figuring out what the hell I’m going to wear! But we’ve got our invitations sent out and we’re getting out RSVPs. At this point, we’re having such a small wedding that it’s not this big hassle that we can’t handle. We’re planning it all ourselves. We don’t need a wedding planner. We’re not that crazy about it, you know. It’s not about everyone else. It’s about us, and we’re keeping that mindset. Only 85 people will be there.
US: It’s New Years Eve. Is there anything significant about that day?
JD: Oh we’re just getting married at the end of the year. Nothing special but us and it’s our day. It doesn’t matter what day it is. It’s our day.
