Todd "Parney" Parnell, long known for his goofy pants and being the heart of the Flying Squirrels, walked a bride down the aisle at CarMax Park this weekend.
Why it matters: His presence was part of the new baseball park's first-ever wedding.
Catch up quick: Cierra Moody and MyShan Wright — Richmonders who attend roughly 40 home games per year — were the winners of the team's wedding contest last month.
- That meant they said "I do" at home plate, had Nutzy and Nutasha in their wedding party and had their first dance on the field between innings.
- Moody (now Mrs. Wright) even got to throw her bouquet into the stands, team spokesperson Trey Wilson told Axios.
The couple initially planned an August 2024 wedding in her dad Bobby's hospice room so he could see them marry. He died just after midnight on the wedding day.
- "The universe had better plans for us," Cierra told the MLB.
