Dukes of Hazzard star John Schneider announced that he's a married man. The TV icon revealed that he just tied the knot in a surprise wedding. Well, at least a surprise to us fans.
Taking to Facebook, Schneider shared a photo of himself and his newly-wed bride Dee Dee Sorvino. He captioned the image: " Big news big news everybody! DeeDee and I got hitched last night in Vegas! Those of you who've been riding shotgun with me this last year and a half or so can understand that I never dreamed that happiness would be possible again. I'm here to tell you that you are stronger than you think!
He continued, "And those folks who have "gone on ahead" are absolutely not only watching from above...but giving us the necessary small nudge... and the occasional kick in the butt to do the right things! I honestly never thought I would ever laugh again... and now I laugh all the time! I sure do love that crazy dame at the end of the bar!"
The TV icon also addressed fans who wanted to send the couple a gift. He said that they could celebrate in one of a few ways. He wrote, "Hey folks, I've had so many people asking if they can send a wedding present, but to be perfectly honest with you the best thing you can do is to go get something from my store. I have a new store address because the other one was hacked yesterday by scoundrels!
Schneider continued, "I would really appreciate it if you would, go check out what I have there and also share the new link with all your friends. There are great movies luie "To Die For" and great music like "Made In America" and truly amazing shirts and hats at the store. I hope you like it! Thank you so much for your good wishes ! Yee Haa!"
John Schneider Is Happy After Dark Period
John Schneider met Sorvino during a dark period of his life. He was grieving his late wife
Alicia Allain when he connected with Sorvino. It turns out that she lost her husband too.
"God sent a widower to a widow and a widow to a widower who [gets] it, who understands. Because I tell you what, I was ready to give it up, all of it — everything," he
explained. "Then just when I thought the very notion of dating or holding another hand was repulsive, I met this one, that crazy Dame over there."
"I have to get to the point where I look around and see where she is, not where she's not," he said. "And I'm trying to do that, but that's hard. Somehow I love her more every minute, but with that, somehow I miss her more every minute."
He continued, "And that's the personality of grief, is living like this, being pulled in two completely opposite directions at the same time ... you want something with all your heart and soul, and you don't want it with all your heart and soul, at the same time. I want this pain to go away. But I don't want it diminish her in any way. I want to laugh, and when I do, I feel bad. I want to smile and mean it, but I don't."
