Get excited sports fans cause stuff is starting to happen! What started as a silly bet between two stupid people has now gotten national attention and it all started with this little article posted to a local county news site. The following day I got a call from a reporter at Fox 5 asking if she and her crew could come to my place for an on-camera interview. My initial reaction was "What the hell?" My secondary reaction was "I should probably shower and make my place not look like crap." Within an hour of that call there was an intern, a cameraman, and a reporter sitting in my living room discussing the legend of Stamos and my quest to get him in my wedding.
The whole experience was hilarious. Every time the camera stopped shooting I kept saying "This is so dumb, I love it." My lady also really enjoyed the surprise when she just happened to call:
Her: Hey baby, I'm coming home for lunch do you want anything?
Me: Yeah, sure. Also, Fox 5 is here sitting at our bar
Her: What the f-ck? Are you serious? I hate you
(Love you too baby but this isn't about you! This is about me getting my dream wedding. My dream wedding with John Stamos by my side).
I didn't see the segment when it aired, I was at a wedding, but I knew when it happened based on my phone exploding with notifications. Within a few days I started receiving notifications that it had aired in Chicago, Charlotte, Orlando, LA, and a bunch of other cities I've never been to. One person messaged me on Twitter to say "Just saw this great story here in Detroit, good luck!"
It's been a couple weeks since the segment first aired and still no word from Stamos but I'm not giving up hope. Not yet. Hope will only be lost when I'm standing at the alter watching my beautiful bride walk down the aisle and I look around and think "Dammit, he didn't come." The good news is, I think RJ is coming around to the idea of being replaced by Stamos:
