Ted & Maria










Sources close to this blogger have photographic proof a wedding took place in Las Vegas, Nevada on May 30, 2009. That's the day Maria and Ted tied the knot. Congratulations and Best Wishes! The newlyweds have known each other, since they were children living in Saint Paul. After several years of being apart, the two were drawn together again. The newlyweds will reside in the jewel of the upper midwest; North Dakota. On behalf of the entire "COOLEY CLAN" -- Welcome to the family, Ted.



p.s. Maria has many brothers and male cousins that love and respect her. We know you'll do the same.
