Love is lovelier…
Never mind how many times around. My great pal, L. Roger Hutson, sealed the deal with Meredith J. Black on Monday in The Brown Palace lobby.
It was a beautiful and breathtaking ceremony officiated by our good guv, the Honorable John Hickenlooper. The ceremony gave me an (inside) chuckle because Roger is a major Republican and Hick, of course, is a giant Dem.
But Roger didn’t let politics get in the way of his wedded bliss. Meredith was gorgeous and Roger was a dashing groom. Best wishes to both!
Buffs are best
Former University of Colorado All-American women’s golfer Emily Talley made her television debut on Monday as a contestant on the latest installment of the Golf Channel reality show “Big Break,”, which was filmed in Mexico this season.
It’s been a year in the making for Talley and her reality career to get off the ground, as it was shortly after she graduated from CU.
“Everybody always said I’d be good for the show, that I’m a happy golfer and show a lot of enthusiasm,” Talley said. “I always thought it would be fun, so as soon as my college career was over I signed up for the Big Break audition.”
Last July, Talley heard that she made the first round of cuts and would be brought in for an interview, and that’s when she showed the show just how good she would be.
“It worked out that I went to Arizona for two days,” she said. “I had a large iced coffee so I was bouncing off the walls for the audition.
“One of my friends was also auditioning. I started 15 minutes before her and was done after her. When somebody asks me a question, I’ll just run with it for days until I’ve squeezed every last drop out of it.”
The show is set at the Riviera Maya at an Iberostar resort about 45 minutes south of Cancun. “It was great weather, great food and great drinks,” Talley said. “Everybody on the show is so nice…”
