Mazel Tov to the Koloscis

I’m not one to talk about how anyone else makes their matrimonial vows. I was married at the Welcome to Vegas sign by a fat 70s Elvis, the taste of tequila and stripper spit still fresh in my mouth. Looking at the woman of my dreams while trying not to throw up on Elvis’s blue suede shoes, I somehow managed to blurt out “I do.” That my wife didn’t run off with Elvis is a miracle on the level of loaves and fishes.

But I realized I was seriously upstaged when I read that Ultimate Fighter 6 cast member John Kolosci married his fiancee in the cage.

Upon reflection, the decision makes perfect sense. Both fighting and a wedding ceremony involve walking down the aisle with theme music and hopefully good people in your corner egging you on. Both involve contracts and for many cutting weight for the given event. Unfortunately, in a marriage it is next to impossible to call off the event or exact a fine if your spouse does not make the weigh in.

The only thing that really seems to be missing was one of the Buffer brothers officiating the ceremony. What truer, wiser and more profound words could be passed on to a new couple then “Lets get ready to rumble”?
