During Friday’s game between the Rangers and Blue Jays, broadcasters Dave Barnett and Tom Grieve said the Ballpark was hosting a rehearsal dinner. Both men said they couldn’t remember hearing of another such event at a big-league game.
That got me wondering about whether the wedding party dined on hot dogs and garlic fries, and where the actual rehearsal happened. The upper-level concourse? The centerfield pavilion? Barnett and Grieve didn’t provide those details, but they did mention that the groom was Stephen Howard of UNT’s sports information office. So I emailed him to get the scoop. Even though he was hours away from tying the knot, Howard was kind enough to send this response:
My fiancé and I had a suite at the Ranger game following our wedding rehearsal at St. Elizabeth Ann Seton in Keller.
She and I are huge Rangers fans and this was the best/only way we could think of to celebrate our special day.
My wife wasn’t that much of a Rangers fan when we got together. But now? We’ll probably renew our vows at a game next year.
