A New Name for Nadine

A big change for the Nadine family... Over memorial day weekend, Nadine VerStandig married her long time paramour Alan Levin.

The event was black tie or "at least cowboy formal". The invitation read, "Pigs have flown, Hell hath frozen over.." and then there were devil and pigs with wongs cookies and a frozen devil ice sculpture as well as an "ace of cakes" stagecoach wedding cake, and on and on.

What really stood out was the deep love the Nadine and Alen have for each other, the love of all the pople surrounding them, and the adoration of Nadine's sons for their mom and their respect for Alan.

So look for upcomig shows and works by the new Nadine Levin!
