John Wooden’s Love Letters: Isn’t This What All Grooms Should Aim For?

Thursday, June 10th, 2010

We crack a lot of jokes about weddings and marriage on this blog, but all kidding aside, we think that this is what every man should aim for when he says “I Do.”

If you’re not familiar with the story of John Wooden and the monthly love letters that he wrote to his late wife, the video below will be the best four and a half minutes you spend all week…. or maybe all year.  Coach Wooden certainly set the bar high for us guys.

Ohhhh Yeaaahhhh: The Macho Man Gets Married

Thursday, May 20th, 2010

As a big fan of the WWF of the late 80′s, this news is bittersweet: Randy Savage, aka “The Macho Man,” has tied the knot for the 2nd time – this time to Lynn Collins. Savage, who is still active in the wrestling community, is said to have found the love of his life again. The bittersweet part is that I always wished he would grow old with Miss Elizabeth. Sadly, she died of a drug overdose in 2003.

Love must be blind..

One thing is for sure, I need to find a Slim Jim ASAP.

When I think of true love, happiness and marriage there is one song, and one song only, that comes to mind…

Updated – thanks to Dave over at Temple of Groom for remind us that this song originally appeared on Full House and was performed by Jesse and the Rippers. For the original Zach and Kelly wedding song, click here.

5 Questions With Ian Lis on the Tim Tebow Proposal

Wednesday, April 7th, 2010

By now, we’re assuming you’ve seen the Tim Tebow Marriage proposal:

We tracked down the groom-to-be, Ian Lis, and asked him five questions on the proposal and Tebow. His answers will literally rock your world.

After reading the interview, check out Tebow’s charity over at the Tim Tebow Foundation website. Regardless of fan allegiance, you can’t deny that he’s taking advantage of his fame and doing some great things for people in need.

How did this incredible engagement story come to be?

Long story.  In short, a good idea and phenomenal execution by my whole family as well as Jim (Palm Beach Autographs owner who was running the event) and Tim Tebow of course.  Tebow agreed ahead of time and my sister came up with most of the execution at the event.

Everyone knows how great of a class act Tim Tebow is. What was it like meeting him in person? Did he offer you any advice as you prepare to take this huge step in life?

He is a class act, but we didn’t have time to exchange advice.

It’s going to be hard to top this engagement, but have you thought how involved of a groom you’ll be in the wedding planning? Will you help plan every detail? Or just sit back and wait til the bachelor party?

Somewhere in between.  I will certainly offer my two cents, but I do not think I will go through the stress and planning that this engagement entailed.  I will definitely enjoy the bachelor party, my friends are never short on surprises themselves!

Be honest, do you think your fiance was a little upset that it wasn’t Tebow popping the question?

No.  This is an honest answer.  She certainly admires and adores Tebow, but she was certain who was popping the question, not to mention, she has had 9 years to back out of this deal.  We are both thrilled that he is now going to be a part of our life above and beyond the joy he brought to us during Gator football season.

Wedding talk aside, what kind of NFL pro do you think Tebow will be?

I think this question is overhyped.  The reason being that Tim Tebow transcends sports, as evidenced by the insane reaction this engagement has gotten.  He will be successful regardless of what his NFL future holds.  However, his new release looks promising and his combine efforts were extraordinary.  Talks of New England drafting him are exciting, because a coach like Belichick can certainly help a rookie find his footing.
