I was joking around with Chris about this a few weeks ago... see, I have this huge thing where I would give anything to meet Paula Dean. In fact, if I could, I'd totally have her adopt me- I want her as my mother! haha. Seriously speaking though, a friend of his (kelli) works for her and apparently she *loves* weddings and doesn't have anyone to plan for anymore (and she's helping Kelli plan hers!) so Kelli thinks she'd probably go if we invited her which would be so awesome! We're also inviting Cartel... though I wouldn't really call them famous yet. FH is really good friends with the singer, and knows the rest of them so we're hoping maybe if we invite them they'll offer to play for us too. haha.
others on our list of possibilities: Oprah Toby Keith Kenny Chesney Gretchen Wilson Taylor Swift Brad Paisley Kellie Pickler (yay for carolina girls!) Matthew Mcconaughey Reese Witherspoon (she's a spokeswoman for Avon & I work for Avon, so it makes sense?) Bowling For Soup (Chris had a crush on me when I was 17 & Erik's mom was my friend's art teacher in HS. They tried to persuade me to move to UNT when I was looking at universities!)
..that's only our list. I'm sure once Chris' father gets a chance to have a say who's coming we'll end up with some high power lawyers & businessmen on the list & possibly a couple of Lords/MPs that his dad's friends with.
edit- i completely forgot to add Tuff Hedeman (Bull Rider)- he's the one who gave Chris the nickname of "Crash" & My Brother in law is Mark Wulfert who used to play baseball for the San Diego Padres

SO far Gwen (Stefani) and Gavin, Alicia Keys, Bruce Sprinsteen and (thank-god) the E street band, Pauly Shore, Downtown Julie Brown, Vince Vaughn (my first true love), Brian Urlacher (da bears), Eminem, Dr. Dre and Snoop Dog Kenny Chesney, Any and all of Bob Marleys kids I can scrounge up Amy Winehouse (if she can make it through customs this time)-fingers CROSSED, Nick Swardson & Dane Cook And finally an array of 80's hair bands hotties with no gigs that weekend.... and Whitney Houston if I can manage to get her a fat sac of rocks
I have a NFL player as one of my groomsmen Fred Bledsoe of the Green Bay Packers
We are inviting my FH clients and close friends of course: Joe Johnson-Atlanta Hawks Daren Mc Fadden-Oakland Raiders Felix Jones-Dallas Cowboys Jamal Anderson-Atlanta Falcons Dre and Jontai (A group form Little Rock with a hit song called "The Jumprope" they were on MTV's My super sweet sixteen)
No one famous showed, just an undercover cop, a chef, a couple of surgeons I work with and well ME!!!!! But the singer/artist of our first dance song cut a personalized track for us with my husbands name in the song instead of his. Thanks to my bro who works in radio. But the artist would have been there in a heartbeat if he wasn't on tour the dau of the wedding, opening for Van Halen.
Oh yeah. Besides the guy being there to sing my song being nicce, I wouldn't want anyone famous there it was MY DAY and no one was going to steal my shine!!!!!

Well, my uncle Leo Rautins does the TV commentary for the Toronto Raptors and he will be there...
And I used to date one of the New Kids on the Block - Joe - so he will likely be there too.
That's all for me though!
