Before they were ever engaged, Chelsea Main and Jesse McNew committed themselves to the idea of a “Big Lebowski” wedding.

It helped that neither of them were much in the way of religious. Also, they had watched the Coen brothers cult classic on the night of their first date, after an evening of drinks in downtown Lincoln and a failed attempt at spotting Lady Gaga.

Bride Chelsea Main and groom Jesse McNew, a dead ringer in Dude-centric attire, drink White Russians and salute the crowd at their “Big Lebowski”-themed wedding last weekend at Chops Bowling in Omaha.


Chelsea revealed she’d never seen “The Big Lebowski,” and Jesse, privy to this new information, called for an immediate viewing. He was a big “Lebowski” fan, quite possibly the biggest “Lebowski” fan in all of Nebraska, and he would not let stand another moment in which Chelsea went without.

So they watched. And as early as that night, Chelsea felt that wonderful feeling of knowing the man she’d someday wed.

1. That rug really ties the lane together.

I hope their first dance was to some Creedence, or maybe Autobahn.

2. "If you will it, it is no dream, Dude"

One of my all-time favorite movies.
(I hope my favorite is obvious.)

Wonderfully written article, by the way. Full of Lebowski allusions that all but Donny would be sure to pick up on.

(If, Heaven forbid, they ever divorce, I guess it'll be a 7-10 split.)
