Congrats! Hopefully they found out who did the facebook hack and prosecute that moron for the tasteless prank he pulled!
Can someone post a wedding photo, that would be cool
What happened??
OK, the Appletons are now a married couple. What an occasion it was. My day began with a pleasant enough drive from New York, NY to Bethlehem, PA. My good mood vanished momentarily as I pulled up to the church, only to notice that Charlie Williams had beaten me to a very prime parking space by seconds, but when I entered the church, the smile returned to my face. Darren and Angie both looked magnificent, and the ceremony, which skillfully and elegantly borrowed from both Eastern and Western cultures and traditions was heartwarming.
Darren's ushers, which included "American pool" regulars Jayson Shaw and Jason Klatt, looked spectacular in marvelous tuxedos, but, and I'm sure Darren will forgive me for this, Angie's bridal party stole the show, consisting of ladies so beautiful that you'd have sworn that each of them came out of the pages of a fairy tale.
The evening reception was also very special. Among the attendees were "American pool" regulars Dennis Hatch, Mika Immonen, Hunter Lombardo, Stevie Moore, Sean Morgan, Brandon Shuff, Shawn Wilkie, Charlie Williams and Zion Zvi, as well as wedding party members Jayson Shaw and Jason Klatt. Also present were a) NYC Grind's Geoff Conway, b) Accu-stats founder Pat Fleming, c) Eddie, the popular proprietor of Sandcastle Billiards, d) Manny, popular proprietor of Steinway Billiards, and e) Matchroom Sports' Ted Lerner. Other well known insiders in the American pool circle who were present included Larry Ross, Ravi (the best dressed man in pool), and Ed Culhane. No doubt, I'm leaving some people out, but then again, I did have a few drinks, so this must be forgiven.
After being skillfully introduced by Matchroom's Ted Lerner, Darren and Angie gave great speeches but the best line of the evening belonged to the best man, who, to paraphrase, related "when Darren showed a few us a picture of his new girlfriend a few years ago, we all said 'yeah right' but Angie turned out to be real."
It was a festive evening befitting a truly joyous occasion and I'm proud to have been part of it. To the bride and groom, may you know nothing but good health, good times, and good fortune.
