Lew and Kathryn Tie the Knot
Mile High City will never be the same
DENVER CO, The mile high city was the venue as
friends and family of Lewey Popoff and Kathryn McCarthy were on site to
witnesses their wedding. It was a cool ceremony - a traditional Greek
Orthodox service.
Nothing seems to be easy anymore, and the weekend got off to a slow start as a
storm cancelled my Friday flight out to Denver. We managed to get the
first flight out on Saturday, although we had to take center seats.

I was waiting in my seat when I saw the T-shirt. It read "I'm a Bruiser
Buddy" and I know of only of few men on whom this shirt would fit (Mark McGwire,
maybe
Shaq). The other guy that the shirt fit was wearing it, and he
strolled down the airplane aisle and sat next to me. He was huge - not so tall
necessarily, but very wide. His left arm jetted out half way into my
seat. For the 3+ hour flight to Denver I was forced to sit leaning as far as I
could to the edge of my seat to give the big fella his space. Only when I
could move the seat back did I get some relief.

After a little while I spoke to the man. It turns out he is a professional
wrestler. He goes by Dick The Bruiser Jr., and was on his way to a
match. He was really a nice guy. As he left the plane, I wished him good
luck and told him to "be careful". He came back with "you should be
careful - you're the one getting married." Bullseye.

Needless to say, Lew's wedding was incredible and a great time, not unlike his
bachelor party. It was great seeing their families and friends. One of
the highlights of the reception was Lew and Kathryn leading everyone in various
Greek dances (click here for a shot of Lew
cutting some serious Greek rug). Good luck guys! Thanks to Mike
DeFrain for the digital pictures.
