When Casey Marriott and her mother were going over the guest list for her upcoming wedding, Marriott decided to have a little fun with it. She invited the likes of Nick Saban, Jimmy Fallon, Justin Timberlake, Maroon 5, Peyton Manning and even Mickey and Minnie Mouse.
Little did she know that Saban, the first A-list celebrity she thought to invite, would actually respond to the invitation.
Saban and his wife, Terry, sent back the RSVP last week, checking the box marked āwill celebrate from afarā and even added a handwritten note. On Monday, Marriott received another item in the mail -- a photo of the Sabans signed by both Nick and Terry.
āIt was really cool,ā Marriott said. āIāve always been a huge fan of Nick. His first year at Alabama was my first year, so heās kind of like āFather Alabamaā to me. Iāve always wanted to meet him, but itās hard to meet Nick Saban. Heās a busy guy.
āThis just shows that he is a good guy, and he will do things for his fans.ā
Not only did Saban respond to the wedding invitation, he turned his RSVP in on time, something that half of the guests have yet to do, according to Marriott.
The wedding itself is next month and while Saban wonāt be there, former Crimson Tide player Ali Sharrief, a close friend of Marriottās, is expected to attend.
