"Coach Lav Leaves His Wedding Guests at Home!
Former UCLA men’s basketball coach Steve Lavin is scheduled to marry Mary Jarou on August 17 at the elegant Montage Resort & Spa in Laguna Beach. Then comes today’s e-mail to his wedding guests, verified by an invitee who received it:
"Update from the Jarou/Lavin wedding headquarters in Newport Beach.
"Unexpectedly we have received a stunning 95% RSVP on sent out wedding invitations. As a result, our wedding guest list has far exceeded the maximum capacity for a traditional ceremony and reception at The Montage Resort.
"After giving serious consideration to alternative plans we have decided the best option at this late stage is to head to Europe to create a magical wedding day.
"Please accept our sincere apologies for any inconveniences this change in our wedding plans may have caused you.
"We are sorry that we will not be able to share our big day with family and friends. We will be sure to send you photos of our wedding upon our return from Europe.
" Please confirm that you received this email.
"Thanks in advance for your understanding.
"Warm regards,
Steve & Mary"
There’s no doubt that this is unusual protocol for a wedding, but the biggest surprise will be to the hotel. A staff member in the Catering Office told us that the event is still on their schedule!"
