"Shawn Hunter is getting married! Boy Meets World alum Rider Strong, who played Cory Matthews&amp;apos; (Ben Savage) bad boy best friend on the ABC sitcom, is getting ready to tie the knot this weekend with fiancee Alexandra Barreto, he confirmed to Us Weekly.\r\n\r\n&amp;quot;I&amp;apos;m incredibly lucky to be getting married to my best friend and partner-in-crime,&amp;quot; the 33-year-old actor told Us of Barreto, whom he met on the now-defunct show Pepper Dennis.\r\n&amp;quot;We&amp;apos;re tying the knot at a summer camp in Oregon,&amp;quot; he shared. &amp;quot;It&amp;apos;s going to be a camp-themed weekend with everyone sleeping in bunks, a ropes course, games, a talent show...Let&amp;apos;s hope it doesn&amp;apos;t rain too much.&amp;quot;\r\n\r\nStrong also revealed there&amp;apos;d be a few special guests at his nuptials. &amp;quot;After I mentioned my favorite band, Typhoon, on Twitter, they offered to come play at our wedding!&amp;quot; he said, adding that he was &amp;quot;so grateful.&amp;quot;\r\nAs previously reported, Strong popped the question to Barreto on Sunday, Dec. 23, while her parents were visiting for the holidays. Prior to proposing, he spent weeks designing and hand-crafting her engagement ring.\r\n\r\n&amp;quot;I found an old-school jeweler who works out of his basement in [L.A.&amp;apos;s] Echo Park and asked him to teach me how to do a lost wax casting,&amp;quot; he explains. &amp;quot;I carved the ring out of wax, and then cast it in white gold. I had my dad make a wooden ring box for me. My dad made my mom&amp;apos;s ring, so I was following in his footsteps.&amp;quot;"^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
