BOSTON -- Johnny Damon married girlfriend Michelle Mangan in Florida at a wedding attended by stars of the sports, television and music worlds.
It was the second marriage for the 31-year-old Red Sox center fielder, whose 5-year-old twins -- Madelyn and Jackson -- served as flower girl and ring bearer.
"Michelle's a great girl, and it's time I started settling down," Damon told The Boston Globe. "She's had a huge influence on me. She lets me be me. She's amazing."
Teammates Doug Mientkiewicz, Mike Timlin, Kevin Millar, Bronson Arroyo and Kevin Youkilis were among the 175 guests at a hotel in Orlando on Thursday. AC/DC lead singer Brian Johnson and celebrity chef Todd English also attended. The reception capped three days of events, including a private comedy show for guests.
Damon, who coined the nickname "idiots" for the 2004 World Series champions, sported his trademark long hair and was dressed in a tux and silver tie. He walked down the aisle to "Brand New Man" by Brooks & Dunn.
Ping
Brian Johnson from AC/DC? How cool would that be, having AC/DC playing your wedding?
Actually they had a few rockers at the wedding....
Good to be Johnny Damon!!!
Keep the divorce attorney's phone number in the speed dial.
Did they go to Disneyworld? Geez.
"She let's me be me." Is good? Maybe that's why the first wife split? JD was being JD.
Oh well, good luck to them and the Red Sox!
Next!
I think that train left the station sometime around 9:00 PM Sunday night. Johnny's a nice guy, but not the sharpest knife in the draw.
Wow! Those are some....white teeth.
Actually, a lot of men will tell you that their women do nothing but try and change them. Sometimes its for the better but when you think about the furnishings or fashions that she loved five years ago that she hates now, it's easy to see how that translates to the problems that women have today with relationships with men.
You might be a redneck if...
I guess she's OK is you like them young and beautiful.
Nice rack. But Johnny has better hair...
I guess she wanted them to match the dress
Did you mean not the fastest draw? Hehehe...
Until the gifts and allowance stops.
"She's had a huge influence on me"
It appears that she has two huge influences on him.
How many people do you think stepped up for a vending machine wedding? In one day they had five or six couples.
"Thank you for choosing Wed-o-matic." Beep. "Please stand behind the gray line." Beep. "Please remove the bride's ring from the slot." Beep. "Place ring on bride." Beep. "Please remove garter belt from slot and place on bride." Beep.
It was SAD. And most of the couples were in their sixties, although their were two young couples.
Funniest/saddest line. Machine: "How long do you expect this marriage to last?" Woman (dumbfounded): "Forever." Man: "About ten years."
Oh how cute! I wonder if Daddy's new wife will let them have their own room at her new house.
Did cave man shave for his wedding?
