Damn, that's awesome!! Congrats to Joe.

[PWNEDbyDEANO]

Definitely looking cool there Joe.

Congratulations as well. I'm quite surprised that there hasn't been any info leaked on this before now.

That is exactly what I first thought. Since there isn't alot of football news to report about, one would think that the media would be interested in a fairly high profile player's wedding... but then again, I think Roethlisberger's marriage mostly flew under the radar.

Just him being negative......its what he does.

[edreedfromtheu]

So Romo had the Carrie Underwood and Jessica Simpson curse... if Flacco can't get it done this year, do we start to blame Dana?!?

[flynismo]

You're going to blame him anyway, so may as well

[PurpleReign92]

I'm glad that Joe is finally moving forward with his personal life..
According to the original thread poster they have been seeing each other for a long time.
I think at these point in his life and at his age congrats to him!

How do you have any blame capacity for a guy marrying his high school sweetheart. If anything he knows he can trust her, she was with him before he got money and fame. This kind of thing seems right up Joe's alley, just another reason why I like the cat.

[lgcs27288]

Congrats to Joe! Now let's get him a ring!

Unlike many of his former college teammates, I've heard no stories of Joe ever being unfaithful. High-character individual by all counts, as far as I know.

Congrats to the happy couple! Let's get him another ring to match his wedding band.

You know its just cause this dude hates anything that is not T Smith (and not the T Smith on the roster now).

Congrats Joe!

Congrats to Joe. A happy wife makes for a happy professional life!

Aaron Wilson already confirmed it on Twitter, along with various other sources. ([url="http://twitter.com/#!/RavensInsider/status/84690312668254208"]LINK[/url])

I agree with you, I think he felt all on his own when Troy Smith was waived...
I think he misses that token Wildcat pro...

[Guest ArmyRaven52]

Hopefully she can fix his look.....whatever it is that you call it lol

Ina all seriousness though Joe congrats to you and your bride, I wish you guys all the luck in the world.

Thanks, I checked several other sites (including some of Aaron's), but hadn't thought to check his twitter. Looking forward to some details such as who was on the guest list.

lol...yeah. We need to all chip in and get the man a barber and tailor.
But that's what I like about him. He's not concerned about fitting into a box; he likes being himself. Probably sounds weird since I come across differently, but his personality is almost identical to mine in the 'real world', so he gets extra points from me for that.

[RoflDogs]

Grats to Joe

The next John Riggins maybe. lol.

[flynismo]

Hm. You have a point there lmao

[Ravensfan23]

This is terrible news. Dana isn't Gisele or Jessica Simpson. So Joe won't ever be as good a Brady or Romo.

Joe doesn't do a lot of commercials like the Manning brothers, and he's clearly not a Matt Ryan, Sam Bradford type.

Joe will never be considered a Elite QB with this move. Shame on his PR team.

Naw in all seriousness, Congrats to Joe and his Fam. It's things like this that kind of give you an insight into the fact that these guys are normal, outside of the fact that they get paid Millions to play the game we love and wish we could play as fans.

Joe and Dana will get married soon, then get a nice big contract, and hopefully that will set their family up for life.

[BohBalmerOsbohs]

Haruki Nakamura also got married today. here in Ocean City

[ravensgirl20]

I couldn't be happier for Joe and Dana. My husband and I met in our senior year of high school and have been married for 16 years now. I pray they have a long, happy, marriage filled with love.
