Couple Who Proposed At FedEx Also Wins At Redskins Mania
When last we saw Drew and Kim, she was sobbing with joy on the muddy sideline of FedExField back in December. Drew had just proposed, and the Redskins would go on to upset the Philadelphia Eagles. It was, on the whole, a pretty good day.
And apparently the wedding went well, too. "It was July 5th," Kim said.
"I had my groom cake made to look like FedExField," Drew added. "But our wedding coordinator said burgundy and gold were fall wedding colors, though."
"But we couldn't do a fall wedding," Kim said, "because that's football season." The two settled on a football-neutral, seasonally-appropriate light blue and yellow.
They were back in town for the Steelers game last week -- another win -- and the Redskins Rides car show the next day. I ran into them in front of the Virginia Lottery's booth, which led to them explaining that they've added the Redskins Mania ticket to their home-game weekend ritual, which starts with the couple driving up to FedExField from Tennessee.
"Well," Drew told me, "we just figured that each trip we come up we'll buy a ticket, just to see. And we bought a ticket yesterday when we were getting ice for the tailgate. Kim scratched it off and she said, 'I think we just won fifty bucks.'"
Fifty bucks isn't enough to cover gas for the drive from Tennessee in the current economy, "but it certainly helps out," Drew said.
Kim was excited to return to FedExField as a married woman, although she managed to avoid shedding tears this time. "I didn't cry," she rasped, "but I screamed myself to where I have no voice today."
Speaking of the lottery ... It doesn't do Kim and Drew any good, because their ticket was a winner, but the deadline for the first second-chance drawing for non-winning tickets is at 11:59 tonight. So if you've got a non-winning ticket around, head to the Virginia Lottery website and enter for the chance to win the second-chance prizes, including 20 years of season tickets.
(And, although it's not Redskins-related, I'll also point out that the Mega Millions jackpot is up over $300 million. Just, you know, if you should happen to be at a licensed lottery retailer anyhow.)
