Big Ben's Savin' the Date

TMZ apparently got hold of Ben Roethlisberger and Ashely Harlan's Save The Date.


So this is it.  Now I have not had to plan my own wedding (yet!) but I would have to say for a couple who is about my age, I really don't see this being the save the date our generation would use.  All the save the dates I have received have not looked anything like this.  Usually there is a picture, or its a postcard, or magnet.  And the floral design is not exactly my taste.

On that note, I wonder who on their guest list sold them out?  And to TMZ?  Really?  I hope they got enough money to give them a really good wedding present.  IF it is really the save the date, I couldn't imagine that the happy couple would be having such a large wedding that you couldn't trust the people you were inviting to not sell your invitations to Internet tabloids!

My first thought on this was maybe it was the company who they were thinking about using, who had made up several different ones to show them and they leaked it?

If I were them, I would never have my wedding here.  If it really meant a lot to them to be married to each other and avoid all the media spectacles, wouldn't you just want to do this privately?  Get away and take people with you that you could trust and it would really mean something for them to be there?  But if they want to have all this attention, then they are on the right track.  Many other celebrities get married in front of a hundred close family and friends and their save the dates never get out...so why did theirs?  I'm interested to see how this all unfolds....
