A Rivarly Wedding -- Notre Dame & Michigan


My cousin Craig Doyle married Rebecca Blankenship this weekend in what you would call a "marriage of rivals."  For you see, Craig is a Notre Dame fan and Rebecca roots for that "school in Ann Arbor."

As you'll see in the photos they took the rivalry to heart -- actually getting married in football uniforms and the "justice of the peace" wore a referee's shirt...  Hopefully he wasn't from the Big Ten!

The wedding invitations were designed like a Notre Dame vs. Michigan football ticket -- and the wedding and reception was designed like a tailgate...

Congrats Craig and Rebecca!
