Rena Sarigianopoulos' "BEST. DAY. EVER." included a ride over the Hennepin Avenue Bridge in a Bentley convertible being driven by the KARE 11 anchor's newly minted husband, Scott.
Scott popped the question in March and the two were married Saturday at St. Mary's Greek Orthodox Church in front of 175 guests.
One photo on RobertEvans.com shows Sarigianopoulos sticking out of the Bentley, arms stretched out, bouquet in left hand. "I love the Hennepin Avenue Bridge. I just wanted to go down by the river because I love the river so much and they were: Why don't we drive over the bridge?" Sarigianopoulos told me Monday while not on a honeymoon. "At some point we'll go somewhere but I still have family in town," said the anchor, who'll return to the desk Saturday.
There was only one wedding day glitch. The mothers — Rena's is Beverly and Scott's is Peggy — and the bride-elect planned to have their hair and makeup done at Peggy's residence until she lost power in the storm. So the fluffing and buffing was moved to Scott's and Rena's place. "That was 7:45 in the morning and from then on it was the perfect day, it really was," Sarigianopoulos said.
Scott had the hookup chariot-wise. A medical device salesman, he recently also started selling Maseratis, Bentleys and Aston Martins at Morrie's Luxury Auto.
Two recent parties that were practically Bentley parades caused me to go to Morrie's couple weeks ago. The cars I looked at were breathtaking, visually and financially, at $270,000. I loooooove cars but … nooo.
"He loves cars so much but we don't own that Bentley," Sarigianopoulos said with a laugh. "If it doesn't have a bathroom and a basement and a roof over the top, I don't want" to spend $270,000 on an item. The luxury rides seemed to be rolling out of Morrie's without any help from me or her.
I told Sarigianopoulos I finally figured out what I liked about her new husband's looks so much when I was retweeting a wedding photo this weekend. What is so arresting about the shape of Scott's face?
