Well, we're not sure if Molly and Jason (now the "Waggoners") - the "Today" show couple who were wed (read my last blog posting on it here) almost two weeks ago in front of 6 million viewers - have returned from their honeymoon in New Zealand, but one thing's for sure: They're still getting plenty of publicity.
They're featured in a double spread in the Oct. 23 issue of US Weekly magazine, just moments after saying "I do."
The happy couple (she's a native of Sacramento) are shown dancing at the reception in Central Park, sharing a toast with the "Today" hosts, and posing for pics with family and friends. US was able to track down the total cost for the nuptials - $113,000. That sounds reasonable for a morning wedding in the Big Apple, don't you think?
The mag goes on to say that the reception menu featured mini crab cakes and filets of beef, plus that enormous, four-tier vanilla wedding cake that viewers picked. About $25,000 was spent on flowers - reception only. And according to US, the garden of delights included more than 3,000 hydrangeas.
Meredith Vieira helped toast the newly wed couple; it was her first Rockefeller Plaza wedding since taking over for Katie Couric in September. She cried (Well, didn't we all?) as the couple exchanged vows, and the morning show's ratings soared.
What's on my mind now? How are the other six couples doing - the ones who wed before Molly and Jason? At more than $100,000, they better still be hitched!
