[quote]Thanks caddrafter and bikerhart...

oldscll51, I wasn't trying to start an argument. Might want to re-read the whole thread.

I only was addressing the fact that you may assume too much. That maybe more consideration could be made in what we think we know or don't know...[/quote]

My apologies ocsunray. In my haste, I didn't see the quotations showing it was occparts who said Vinnie was burned out. The eyes are the first thing to go after age 40. I know what your thinking. Don't EVEN go there... LOL.

Here's a copy of the story. It was the least I could do after my mix up. By the way, In the picture, Sr.s has no sleeves on his tux. I never noticed he had muscles before. LOL. For goodness sakes. Can't he do it with class on his wedding day?

Times Herald-Record
July 31, 2007

Montgomery — The bride wore white, snow-white with embroidery the shade of Merlot and a glinting tiara in her long, dark hair.

The groom wore a tuxedo, a black one sans sleeves.

Of course he did. Because he's Paul Teutul Sr., the founding father of the Orange County Choppers garage and the hit reality show, "American Chopper," now in its fourth season on TLC.

Camera crews were in attendance Sunday afternoon as 130 guests watched Senior, 58, exchange "I do's" with Beth Dillon, 49, at their wooded estate in the Town of Montgomery.

The couple met in December 2005 on a flight home from an awards show in California. Dillon was the flight attendant.

"I was slightly attracted to her," Senior said, "so I moved in."

His pickup line?

"So what does your husband do?"

She wasn't married, wasn't seeing anyone special and had two grown sons. "So then I realized I wasn't robbing the cradle," Senior said. "So anyhow, I got her cell number and I called her the next day, or maybe it was the same day."

Fast-forward a year and a half: Dillon, a California native, has moved to Montgomery and adjusted well to her reality-TV romance. She can butter up Senior's celebrated on-camera temper. She has her own bike and knows how to ride. This woman, Senior said, used to race dragsters for fun. She wasn't going to let a TV show get the best of her.

"I have people all over me all the time, men and women," said Senior. "She can handle it."

Three weeks ago, Dillon flew to Florida to visit family and friends and take a breather from life at the Factory Street chop shop. Senior missed her, called her up and said, "I think we should get married."

He followed up the conversation with a four-carat, channel-setting diamond ring.

And so the same team that cranks out hogs and hit TV manufactured an outdoor Christian ceremony complete with DJ (Senior did, in fact, "do the twist,") yellow fin tuna from Hawaii, red roses and the rest of the family.

Both the bride and groom have children from previous marriages. "They're good kids," Senior said of Dillon's two boys. "Not like mine."

He was kidding, kind of. The on-screen blowups between Senior and his co-star sons regularly upstage the specialty bikes they build. But Paulie did indeed leave the Bahamas in time for the nuptials, and Mikey returned from a trek through Amsterdam and the Poconos.

The newlyweds will honeymoon at home, Senior said, "and live happily ever after."

Footage from the wedding will air this fall during season five of "American Chopper."

"My apologies ocsunray. In my haste, I didn't see the quotations showing it was occparts who said Vinnie was burned out. The eyes are the first thing to go after age 40. I know what your thinking. Don't EVEN go there... LOL."

No problem oldscll...
And hate to admit it--but I know EXACTLY what you mean about the old eyes going after 40. I won't even mention the waistline, hearing or knees... LOLOLOL

Whats the big deal that the tux had no sleeves..It's his second marriage and it's quite obvious that they dig each other for who they really are. I say kudos to Sr for his fashion choice..

I know people who have gotten married in Converse and tux..No tux at all..I myself wore a suit as did my husband..

He'd look wierd in a tux with sleeves..

It's simply a matter of respect for the ceremony ... but I doubt that Sr. really cares one way or the other. LOL

I went sleeveless, too, when I got married.

If your married in a cathedral I could see it being a bit anti but they were married in the yard on his estate..So to me it's no big deal.

Next time I exchange my I do's I hope to be barefoot on a beach in a sundress..

See that Wit, you and Sr do have something in common

Oh Vinnie Vinnie Vinnie. What am I going to do? Have been a loyal fan since day one, that day seems so long ago and everyone has changed. I have been unhappy with the show for the last 2 seasons, it is just not the same, I was basically watching to see you and you picking on Cody. The rest of the show has just turned into a big joke. I have seen your unhappiness just by watching you. I wish you all the best in your next career move. We will miss you!

I agree tingly, if I ever did it again (and it's a BIG if), I would do the same thing. We spent way to much money and honestly I don't remember much about it.

For the money people spent on weddings and the receptions you could go around the world TWICE!!!

Some of the dresses and their prices could pay my rent for a few months.

[quote]I went sleeveless, too, when I got married.[/quote]

Yes witega, but you didn't look ridiculous with no sleeves. You'd think for once, especially on his wedding day, he'd try to look like a class act. But noooooo. Sr is so narcissistic, he still feels the need to show off his musckles. LOL. Like we've never seen them before. He could have covered up for his brides special day, but NO. That would take the spot light off of his muscles. Give us a break for once, not to mention his new brides...

Maybe Beth wanted him sleeveless.

Not saying that it would happen in this case, but a lot of people spend a fortune on weddings only to be divorced just a few years later. It's happened in my extended family several times. Hardly seems worth all the trouble and expense.

What?!?

Senior is fashion-challenged to begin with, so I'm not surprised he dressed the way he did. However, why bother to wear a tux in the first place, as "sleeveless tux" is an oxymoron. It would be different if he was 20-something, or even 30-something. The bargain basement Von Dutch look might even work. Personally, I would find the idea of a film crew videotaping my wedding to air it on a television show more distasteful than a sleeveless tux. Having said that, Senior and Beth are both well past the age of consent, presumably paid for their own wedding (although since it is going to be aired, who knows?), and are free to do whatever they want - fashion and otherwise.

Spoken like a true Canalien.

This thread that was about Vinnie leaving basically got ruined. If people wanted to talk about Sr's marriage and his attire an new thread should have been started about it. Not threadcrapping this one.

I'm sorry to hear that Vinnie left -- he and Rick have always been my favorites. Good luck, Vinnie, keep the shiny side up.

The reason people are talking about Senior's wedding is because it's dying off. People are bored about talking of Vinnie's leaving.

Madame Contraire, Vinnie, Please keep us up to date as to what your up to...

[quote]People are bored about talking of Vinnie's leaving.[/quote]

Now now bikerhart, I'm sure you wouldn't say that if we were talking about Rick.

Why should this thread be any different than any other on this board? Don't we always go off and on the topics?

It certainly doesn't mean any disrespect to Vinnie or the fact that we will miss him on the show. I think it's just the nature of those of us who post on this board. Then again we may all suffer from ADD! LOL

Yes I would...then I'd start another thread...and when it dies off, I'll start another thread...and when it dies off, I'll start another thread...and when it dies off, I'll start another thread...

bikerhart, speaking of threads, did you hear that Vinnie and Rick will be using other fabrics, such as cottons, silks, wools, and other fine blends to make the finest couture fashionable custom-made women's clothing money can buy??? A little birdie tells me you did... LOL.

Cool. I too can wear my t-shirts with all the hems cut off.

[quote]Exactly! who cares about Srs outfit, this thread is about Vinnie! back on topic![/quote]

How long can you beat a dead horse? Vinnie's leaving, ok ... how much more can be said about it???

What?!! Vinnie's leaving?!! What's that all about?!!!

[quote][quote]Exactly! who cares about Srs outfit, this thread is about Vinnie! back on topic![/quote][/quote]


You are correct, 3 pages is enough. Vinnie made his statement so we can move on.

Vinnie may GOd bless you and your family... always.

It sounds like I have something in common with bikerhart, I'm also a big Rick fan.

Just to be totally off topic..Forgive me, Ben.

But anyone have any clue what kind of watch that is that Rick wears??

I'm a watch person..{shrugs}

So, if Junior were to wear a Rolex Oyster or maybe a Submariner on his calf, that would just about make your day, I expect.

ROTFLMAO

Not into Rolex's, waste of good money..Excellent watches they'll last you a lifetime but ehhh..They don't do it for me..


Ever tell you how great Pauls forearms are?..

T ..*shakes his head* ... you need help dear.

I know.. {hangs head in shame}

[quote]Cool. I too can wear my t-shirts with all the hems cut off.[/quote]

Now bikerhart, you know that t-shirts don't have hems. Or do they? Anyway, I believe that Sr. would be the one that handles all t-shirt issues. Now if your interested in some of the finer couture fashions that Vinnie and Rick are fabricating, I'll have my people talk to their people and if your still interested, we'll get your measurements and put you in the best quality finery money can buy...

I like my t-shirt with the hems cut off in silk please.

For you bikerhart, I can make it happen...

Don't forget the sleeves! You guys keep forgetting the sleeves! Shorten the sleeves to half their size and don't hem them!!!!

Does that come in our choice of colors too 51?

I talked to the fellas and they said anything for you ladies, 75% discount, sleeves and all 51 colors not a problem. AND all of your friends, 50% discount. Ya know, that class AND thats what it's really all about...

Are they planning on modelling for us?
