Happy 5th anniversary to Adrian & Natalie, married on June 24.2000.
Adrian and Natalie met on May 1, 1999. Charlie Robison, a long time friend of Adrian’s asked Adrian to be his groomsman at his wedding in May. The bride, Emily Irvin of the Dixie Chicks, asked Natalie Maines to be her bridesmaid. The couple thought Adrian and Natalie would like one another. Due to car troubles, Adrian arrived at the wedding just in time. Adrian and Natalie met for the first time while walking down the aisle.
It was love at first sight! After the reception, Adrian and Natalie sat up the whole night getting to know one another. Neither knew about each other’s career.
By 2000, the couple was engaged. That year was a busy one as the Dixie Chicks were on a huge world tour, and Adrian was in Vancouver, Canada filming his TV series, MYSTERIOUS WAYS. Finally the couple decided to marry in Las Vegas. The Dixie Chicks performed that night in a Las Vegas stadium. The only clue that this was to be a special night was when Natalie dedicated the Dixie Chicks tune, “Cowboy Take Me Away” to Adrian who was sitting front row in the audience. After the show Adrian and Natalie slipped into wedding clothes and quietly went to a wedding chapel and with just the two of them recited their vows to each other.
Six months later when the TV filming and the tour were over, Adrian and Natalie flew families and friends over to Paris where the couple renewed their wedding vows in a Christmas Eve service at a two hundred year old Catholic Cathedral.
May Adrian and Natalie have many more happy years together!
