    The wedding video that Tony Romo doesn't want you to see: And the bizarrebridesmaid divide

    • Candice Crawford and Tony Romo's wedding kiss
      YouTube
    • Candice Crawford and her bridesmaids (sorted by hair color)
    • The bride's, uh, stilettos

    Warning: Do not let your girlfriends watch the video of Dallas Cowboys quarterback Tony Romo and Candice Crawford's recent wedding.

    The wedding took place at Dallas's Lee Park on May 28 and was more of a fairytale than any Disney movie can claim to be.

    The wedding video teaser (yes, teaser) went live online Wednesday afternoon, but was promptly pulled from all outlets after it began to go viral.

    The video featured every step of the wedding day from getting ready to the getaway car. Sounds pretty normal, right? Wrong.

    Crawford was shown primping for her big day, but instead of her gaggle of bridesmaids supervising the application of her makeup, she was shown being airbrushed by a professional, much like the former Miss Missouri that she is.

    Another shot featured Romo shaving in preparation for his nuptials, but shots of the actual ceremony show him looking suspiciously scruffy, which has elicited a strong outcry from the online community.

    The video featured every step of the wedding day from getting ready to the getaway car. Sounds pretty normal, right? Wrong.

    Other notable occurrences included the volcanic-like eruption of confetti when the couple shared their first wedded kiss (one commentator even offered up that "It's good to know Romo got a chance to celebrate with confetti once in his life") and fireworks lighting up the night sky as the pair rode off into wedded bliss in a vintage convertible.

    According to People.com, the bride wore a gown custom made by Rani Totman, which Crawford picked out well before the engagement was official. Her bridesmaids sparkled in gold Badgley Mischka cocktail dresses with glitzy belts.

    Another highlight of the wedding trailer was Crawford's completely bedazzling high heels made especially for the occasion.

    Notably absent from the film (but present at the ceremony as a groomsman), however, was her famous brother — Gossip Girl's Chace Crawford.

    The strangest part of the video, however, was the background song selection. The film was beautifully shot, but played against a background of Coldplay's "Fix You," a depressing song about troubled partners in a relationship.

    The video, overall, is less endearing than the now famous video of Jordan Shipley serenading his former Texas teammate Colt McCoy during the quarterback's wedding, and not quite as awe inducing as model Coco Rocha's opus of a wedding video.

    Astros fan favorite Jeremy Peña gets engaged to soccer star Julia Grosso

    An Astros fan favorite is officially off the market. Shortstop Jeremy Peña is now engaged to professional soccer player Julia Grosso.

    The couple, who have been social media official since last December, announced the happy news this Friday, December 12 with a post on Instagram.

    Peña is coming off an impressive 2025 season that cemented his status as the Astros’ best position player, hitting .304 with 17 home runs and 20 stolen bases — enough to rank as eighth most valuable position player in the American League. That enhances an already impressive resume that includes being named the MVP of the 2022 World Series as the Astros won their second title.

    Grosso is just as accomplished as her fiancee. Currently a member of the NWSL's Chicago Red Stars, she won a gold medal with the 2020 Canadian national team.

    No word on a wedding date or venue, yet. Although Peña reportedly turned down a $105 million contract extension last season, he’s still going to earn $9 million in 2026, so it should be a party to remember.
