Kevin's Involvement In My Wedding

[Archon_Turtle]

Hi everyone. I'd like to talk about something that I actually had decided I was not going to announce. However; recent events have changed my mind.

Today via facebook, I had put up a picture of the gifts I have purchased for my groomsmen. In that photo I tagged each of my guys. A number of you noticed that I tagged Kevin Eastman in that photo and came to me with questions. Which has led me to post about it.

In January I had asked Kevin if he would do me the great honor of being my best man at my upcoming wedding. I actually didn't think I had much of a chance. However; to my elated surprise, he said yes. On October 22nd, I will be wed to the love of my life, and I could not be happier that Kevin will be by my side when I do.

I originally had decided that I was not going to publicize this information (aside from a select few of you that I hold dear to me), as I never wanted this wedding to be about Kevin being involved. This day belongs to my future wife and myself, and I didn't want that to be clouded by "OMG Kevin Eastman"! It didn't even occur to me what I was revealing when I tagged him in that photo. But anyway, now you know.

[gobo]

Rock on, Archon. ^_^

[Powder]

Aww, I didn't know you held me dear! I'm flattered, haha. Congrats again, on it all.

<3's for bros.

[Luzmagica]

Congrats! Its going to be awesome!...:tgrin:
Of course that special day belongs to your wife and you, also if you both like TMNT, it could be even a more special day/celebration for both!

[Jester]

Well dang man....that's awesome.

[Cowabunga Kiefer]

That. Is. Awesome!!! I wonder what he'll say for his best man speech! :P

[oldmanwinters]

Man, that's mighty impressive! And very cool that Eastman would agree to it! You didn't have any other former TMNT artists in the groomsmen lineup did you?

[Master Splinter]

Once again, congrats... I hope you and your future wife have a great and memorable day!

[BoggleKng]

[Buslady]

That is SOOOOO COOOLLLL!!!!!!!!

[Andrew NDB]

And for a limited time Kevin can attend your Barmitzvah, Christening, or Quinceanera party. Operators are standing by at 1-800-GO-KEVIN. ;)

Seriously, when I heard about this, it was all kinds of cool. I expect pictures! Lots of pictures.

[Scandia]

Wow! Congratulations!!!

[Archon_Turtle]

All the well wishes are greatly appreciated everyone! I'm excited!

[Melt]

I'm excited!

Hope so! Don't get cold feet the day of!

[Whitewolf89]

Congrats on your upcoming nuptuals (sp?), dear friend! I hope that everything runs smoothly and according to plan, and you and your lady have a wonderful, lovely wedding! I will be keeping you both and everything going on in my constant thoughts and prayers.

God keep you both, and may He bless you on this happiest of days.:tgrin:

And you're very right; this day should about you and your lady; NOT about who your best man is. (Although, having Kev as your best man, I think that you're the LUCKIEST dickens on the planet right now!:twink::tlol: )

[Leonardo87]

I noticed that you tagged Kevin, but I soon realized on what was going on. Congrats! :D

[Rise1184]

Cool man, congrats on getting married! It's a wonderful feeling, I'll tell you that.

[gobo]

That. Is. Awesome!!! I wonder what he'll say for his best man speech! :P
"Cowabunga" instead of "Cheers" would be hilarious. ^_^
Aww, I didn't know you held me dear! I'm flattered, haha.
My thoughts exactly... Makes me feel all warm and fuzzy... :D

[Cure]

How well do you actually know that guy?

[Archon_Turtle]

How well do you actually know that guy?

I am blessed to be able to say very well.

[discordiatookie]

That's freakin' awesome. Hope you have a wonderful day!

[plastroncafe]

Congrats to you both!
Er...you and your bride.
Not you and Kevin.

Unless it's going to be that kind of wedding.
HATCHI MATCHI!

[Archon_Turtle]

I see what you did thar!

[tipet]

Happy wedding Archon!!

Hahahaha! I'm sorry but that made my ribs hurt!

But anywho, congrats on the wedding Archon, and I wish you and your future wife the best. But that's damn cool that Kevin Eastman is going to be your best man, damn cool.

I was slightly thinking that too Cure, but I was more curious if your wife is 100% ok with all this. Seems a bit odd.

[Archon_Turtle]

Why would she be concerned with who my best man is? I have found my wife to be supportive of everything I do...hence, I am marrying her.

[Navin Johnson]

Congrats, that is unbelievably cool.

[Samhain]

I find this a bit odd. No offense though. But really Tmnt and marrying your wife should be separate IMO.

If Kevin wasn't a dear friend, I would agree. I didn't ask the ****ing ninja turtles to be my best man, I asked a friend who happens to have created them.

The people who are involved in the TMNT who are attending my wedding got invited and said yes because they are part of my life, not because I went down the checklist.

[gbhq]

congrats!!, you are lucky in all aspect of you great news, mazel-tov!!

[Venom]

LOL I love your responses, Stephan! People seem to forget that fans can actually transcend to friends. Anyway, congratulations on your Big Day!! It will *certainly* be one you'll never forget...as long as you don't get alzheimer's, that is. :D

Kevin seems like a guy who would throw a kick-ass bachelor's party, just sayin'! :cool:

[Voidoid]

How is this odd? If Kevin said yes then I don't think that it's odd. Obviously he knows the dude well enough to agree to it.

[koenne]

Truly amazing ! Have a great wedding .
Cowabunga !

[Teddy]

That's really awesome. Congrats to you and your soon-to-be wife! :tsmile:

[agliarept]

congrats! that's wonderful news...but couldn't you get Peter Laird? lol i kid i kid :-)

[Adam Riches]

I think it's incredibly cool that someone you admire is willing to do that for you as a friend. I have the upmost respect for Kevin, from stories I've heard from some friends in the business that know him, as well as what I hear from fans who've had the chance to meet him, he seems like one of those guys who enormous success didn't change. I think it's very admirable how good he is to his friends and fans.

Congrats on your wedding, and definitely agree with everyone looking forward to the pics!

[Mr. Stay Puft]

Wonder if Kevin has anything planned for the bachelor party. Venus strippers, perhaps? :lol:

But seriously, congrats! That is awesome. Coincidentally, that's the day before my wife and I were originally planning to have our wedding, but we ended up doing it this past Labor Day weekend instead.

[Prowler]

Interesting, one of your best friends actualyl being the person who created oen of your favorite franchises. :P

Congratulations!

[Candy Kappa]

Congratulatons. I wish you and your lucky girl all the best
