Planning a wedding can be stressful, but at least Alexa Ray Joel won't have to worry about hiring a wedding singer! Since Alexa Ray's dad is legendary musician Billy Joel, her little sister, Sailor Brinkley Cook, recently told Life & Style that it would be a great idea for the "Uptown Girl" singer to perform at Alexa Ray's upcoming nuptials. "I bet [Billy does perform]," Sailor said while recalling the times that Billy would play for her as a kid. "I hope now that I'm older and can appreciate that, he plays at the wedding. It will be awesome!" ...So I was completely taken off-guard, dumbstruck, and shell-shocked- and For Once in my life, I had absolutely no words, and I couldn’t speak... I just kept staring at this ridiculously exquisite ring- and he was just hysterically laughing at me!!!
