Clemons says 'I do' to new Boss

Maybe a few bars of The Boss' Tunnel of Love would be appropriate for the "Big Man," Clarence Clemons, who once again is a married man.

Saturday the Singer Island resident married Dr. Meng Yanhong in Fushun City, China, the bride's home town. Although she's a Chinese citizen, Gina, as she is known to friends, actually lives in Dublin, where she operates a thriving clinic for traditional Chinese medicine, acupuncture and massage.

They met in Dublin last year during the European leg of Bruce Springsteen's tour and corresponded throughout the year. Finally, Clarence could wait no longer and returned to Dublin on St. Patrick's Day. After a week, they were "head over heels for each other," Clarence's manager Steve Schwack said, but the sax man had to return to the States to finish his own tour.

On May 9, he flew back to Dublin, this time with a ring. After a gig in Monte Carlo on May 18, they flew 24 hours from Nice, by way of Copenhagen, to China, where Clarence asked Gina's father for her hand.

Now the immigration process begins, as Gina, 31, must wait about six months for her green card. However, she has obtained a tourist visa to The Bahamas, where the couple will begin their honeymoon on July 6 at Atlantis.
