Scheck and her husband, Rodney Scheck, were originally planning to get married in August but her stepfather Brian Devlin香蕉视频直播檚 rapidly-declining health prompted them to do it now. So, a quick scramble pulled all the elements together for a great wedding on May 15.

The happy couple were deeply appreciative of the love and support they received.
