It was a 7-7-07 wedding for drummer

The wedding of Black Keys drummer Patrick Carney and Denise Grollmus with two black and white photos was the lead item for Rich Heldenfels’ regular ArtsEtc feature on page A2 of Sunday’s Beacon Journal.

However a more colorful report on the wedding can be found with four color photos by Beacon Journal photographer Phil Masturzo n the Entertainment Section of Ohio.com, the newspaper’s website.

Just click on the headline to go to the album feature in the Entertainment section headlined: Wedding march plays for Black Keys drummer.

Here is Hedenfels item from page A2 of the print newspaper:

While some were pondering the wedding of Eva Longoria and Tony Parker, Akron had its own celebrity nuptials Saturday.

Pat Carney, half of the duo the Black Keys, wed journalist Denise Grollmus in the chapel at Glendale Cemetery before about 100 friends and family members, among them fellow Black Key Dan Auerbach.

Ted Mallison of the band Houseguest officiated at the six-minute ceremony, a first for him. It included considerable merriment and a toast with mead.

The bride wore a beige and white dress made by her friend Liz Gallardo. A reception at the Lime Spider was set for after the ceremony. The newlyweds will take a two-week honeymoon in Paris, Nice and Prague.

Pat Carney, by the way, is the son of Beacon Journal reporter Jim Carney. Grollmus, now with Cleveland Scene, is a former reporter for the Beacon Journal.

Why is this in my newspaper? Oh, right, because Pappa Carney works at the paper.

How long before Grollmus and her dumb column are back in the paper now that she's a "made woman."

Good question..... Guess it' some of that good news that the "Canadian" Black is bringing to the area. Along with, I might add, all of those huge photos that fill the paper so the reporters can relax and not have to chase news, because there isn't any news hole left. Oh well, I was hoping he "The Canadian" would use the money he is saving on my retirement prescription card cut back to improve the paper. Hey, what the hell, the BJ is still the best paper in Akron.

I enjoyed reading the item on Carney's wedding. The Black Keys are a big deal in the music world and he's an Akronite. Seems like news to me.

And Tom Gaffney's son wed my cousin and, unless I missed it, it wasn't in the paper, despite the fact that "Daddy Gaffney" works at the paper.

I think "Cranky retiree" is, well... cranky. (And anonymous!)
