Mr. And Mrs.November?

[MFS62]

From the NY Post.

Derek Jeter, Minka Kelly set to become Mr. and Mrs. 'November' By TAYLOR K. VECSEY and BRAD HAMILTON Last Updated: 6:18 PM, January 10, 2010 Women of New York, start weeping. After months of speculation that the Yankees' hunk and his sexy steady Minka Kelly are headed to the altar, The Post has learned that the super couple may have settled on a wedding date -- Nov. 5. And while it may bring little solace to Jeter's legion of female admirers, fretful Yankees fans will be glad to note the date is at least two days after the World Series ends. After getting a tip about the upcoming nuptials, The Post confirmed the date by spotting a curious entry in the official calendar at the ritzy reception palace Oheka Castle in Huntington, LI, for the first Friday in November that read simply "JETER wedding." Page Six broke the story of their secret engagement in August. And in November, The Post also ran photos of Jeter and Kelly frolicking in the water off St. Barts -- and looking very much in love. The sumptuous Long Island site is certainly suitable for the superstar shortstop. The opulent Oheka features a French-style chateau hotel and spa, with an exquisite main ballroom and formal gardens with eight reflecting pools and three fountains. The castle -- the second-largest private residence in the United States -- has hosted lavish parties for royalty, Hollywood stars and heads of state for nearly a century. Teen idol Kevin Jonas was married there last month. Oheka, known for fiercely protecting the privacy of its guests, would not comment. But a Post reporter, posing as a bride-to-be seeking to book a wedding that weekend, was shown a scheduling calendar printout as sales manager Rick Bellando explained that the castle hosts just one wedding per day -- and the entire weekend in question was already booked. A quick peek at the calendar revealed Jeter's name in big bold letters. When our spy asked if couples were ever open to switching dates for money, Bellando said most were so wealthy, money was not an issue. "I guess if it were Derek Jeter getting married, he really wouldn't care about my money," our reporter suggested, pointing to the entry. Bellando chuckled, but quickly tried to dismiss speculation. "Oh, that's not Derek Jeter. We wouldn't use his real name if it were. When the Jonas brother got married here last month, we used a different name."

This will be fun to follow.

I think Jeter has gotten old/out of date anyway. Not sure anyone's weeping.

Besides, come the wedding everyone's attention will be on David Wright as defending champion in NY anyway.

When I wrote that, there was more than a tinge of sarcasm.
But the more I think about it, it will be really funny to see how the media goes overboard. I'm expecting many comparisons to the DiMaggio- Monroe wedding. Or even more hyperbolic reporting than that.
I think coverage over the next few months will provide us with many BOC opportunities.
This could be a gift that keeps on giving.

Just being around Derek will make Minka a better wife.

At least she's not marrying Allen Iverson.
"How am i supposed to make my significant others better by marrying?"

I have heard about this woman dating Jeter for months and until I saw her picture yesterday I thought it was the actress who played the figure skater in 'The Cutting Edge' and was on 'The West Wing' for the first season. She's Moira Kelly, as it turns out. I am a dumbass, yessiree.

Badass! And there's the January BOC!

[Guest LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr]

Seconded on the BOC.

Wasn't there something last summer about the Yankee wives shunning her in favor of Kate Hudson? (Good call, ladies! I wonder if Mrs. Damon led that decision-making process.)

Yankees' hunk of.....?

That article made me barf like Ray Liotta digging up Billy Batts in "Goodfellas."

So there will be no jokes when and if mr. Wright gets married?

[Guest LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr]

We like and root for Mr. Wright.
