Who Wants To Marry Ashley MacIsaac

You sure come across some interesting stories/articles when you read the news as part of your job!

I'm sure someone does, but I definitely don't. Obviously, his plans will make a lot of noise. However, I'm wondering if he will actually go through w/ it. I mean, this is obviously being done for a shock value and to send a msg, but at the same time, is there someone who's willing to take that next step?

Fiddler Ashley MacIsaac wants to wed man in Alberta

CALGARY (CP) -- Ashley MacIsaac, the outspoken, frequently controversial fiddler from Cape Breton, says he wants to get married in Alberta to protest the Conservative government's opposition to gay marriage.
There are, however, a few holes in MacIsaac's plan to tie the knot at the Banff Springs Hotel -- mainly the absence of anybody to share his nuptials.
"I'm not entirely sure who it's going to be," MacIsaac said in an interview. "Maybe a boy from Alberta.
"I asked someone to marry me this week, but it was a little too soon for him."
MacIsaac, 29, has a new album on the horizon but seemed more interested in entering Alberta's political fray when he called the Calgary Herald this week.
"I plan on having the largest gay wedding that Canada's ever seen," he said. "And I'm trying to get a TV company to produce Who Wants To Marry Ashley MacIsaac as a reality show."
MacIsaac, who claimed to be smoking marijuana during the interview, said he would invite Alberta's premier, whomever that might be after Monday's provincial election.
"If it's Ralph Klein, he probably won't show up . . . I'd love to have him make a toast," he said.
The Supreme Court has been asked to review draft legislation from the federal government that would make same-sex marriages legal across Canada. Alberta was the only province to argue against same-sex marriage in that reference.
Recently Saskatchewan became the seventh jurisdiction in Canada to legalize gay marriage.
Last week, Klein said a decision on the issue in Alberta may ultimately rest with voters.
"If Albertans tell me -- I've not asked them to tell me -- but if they do, spontaneously, tell me they want to do something differently, I'll listen," he said during a campaign stop.
