His friend and fellow musician Mike host recalled the events at the wedding The Oklahoma. “It was raining, but he had rented a 40 x 60 circus tent. … They put some rugs over the mud and then got two three-and-a-half inch pieces of plywood and put it on the floor — and that was my stage,” Mike said at the time. “Jake says, ‘Will you be okay with that?’ And I’m like, ‘Jake, that’s perfect.’ I shine on a piece of plywood or a flatbed trailer.”
The singer then told the outlet how “fun” the wedding was. “I still have the mud in my old van… but it was just a fun wedding.
