Owen Wilson married, and I’m the only pap

by · May 31, 2008

This afternoon, my wife and I took the boy on an afternoon drive through the mountains. Along the way, we happened by the place where we got married eight years ago next week. The sign leading to the chapel looked like this.

I realized immediately that I had stumbled onto a gold mine — Owen Wilson’s secret wedding in Carolina mountains. A couple long lens shots and an ambush interview later and I’m expecting People Magazine to be paying me big come Monday.

    I’m sure Mr. Owen and Mrs. Owen nee Wilson would LOVE to have their wedding photos in People magazine.

    Hmmm, I wonder if the Wilson’s in question are related to the troubled actor, Owen Wilson?

    ;-D

    I’ve just got to pick up a copy of People magazine at the checkstand one of these days. That copy from ’86 in my doctor’s office just isn’t keeping me current enough.
