Wedding Details:
Brian and Leighanne were married Saturday, September 2nd, at 6pm in a candlelit ceremony which took place at Peachtree Christian Church in Midtown. The 300 invited guests arrived in black and white stretch limos. The ceremony was about 35 minutes and featured a fairy tale-themed poem written by Leighanne's sister, Tracey Hext. The bride wore a tight-bodiced dress with the skirt flowing from the waist designed by Vera Wang. The bridesmaids and flower girl wore champagne-colored dresses. The groom, the groomsmen and the ring bearer wore charcoal-gray tuxes with top hats. Brian took off his top hat when he said his vows. After the vows were exchanged, Brian and Leighanne hopped into a vintage black & white Rolls Royce with "Just Married" written on the back. The newlyweds and the guests were escorted by a police motorcade to the reception held at the Four Seasons Hotel on 14th Street. Upon arriving, guests wore Velcro wristbands and had to provide identification to gain entrance to the reception. After riding up the elevator to the 4th floor (which Brian and Leighanne rented entirely) the guests were greeted by a sign that read, "No photographs, No autographs". The wedding ceremony and reception went off without incident or overrun by fans, which was a complete shock to most. Kevin, new wife Kristin, Howie, AJ, and Nick were all in attendance, of course. At the reception, Brian sang a song to Leighanne that he wrote especially for her, called "You Are". Additional information, the rehearsal dinner on Friday was held at Brian and Leighanne's 46-acre spread in North Fulton, a suburb of Atlanta.

As most of you know, Leighanne was in the 2nd version of "I'll Never Break Your Heart", playing the part of Brian's "girlfriend". Here a picture of two together in Brian's Western Style "room" with a Chiuahua named Speedy. It was this dog that prompted Brian and Leighanne to get 'Lil Tyk Thomas and, later on, Litty Leigh:
Leighanne was at the Los Angeles concert. Me and some friends went and talked to her. Now I wish I had taken a picture.
Leighanne went with Brian to the 1998 MTV Video Music Awards in Los Angeles. She sat behind the Boys while me and my friends sat beside them. Here's a picture of Leighanne afterwards:
Leighanne sat next to Brian at the 1998 Billboard Music Awards in Las Vegas. Me and my friends got to sit behind them. Oh yeah, Leighanne brought 'Lil Tyke with her. That poor dog. He was bored to death until Brian came back to his seat. Then he held the dog.
Leighanne was at the New Year's Eve concert in Orlando. She was backstage with Brian right before the concert started. The fans that went to talk to her said she was nice. Some said she wasn't. Here are some picture of her walking around:
Leighanne sat next to Brian to the 1999 American Music Awards in Los Angeles. When the Boys performed, her and Nick's (ex)girlfriend, Mandy, sat in the front row. Then they moved several rows back after the performance. Me and my friends sat behind them.
Leighanne sat next to Brian at the 1999 Grammy Awards in Los Angeles. I'm sorry to say this, but she did not look that good that night. Me and my friends sat behind the Boys again. After the show, we spent some time talking to the Boys and exchanged numbers with Nick's sister, BJ, who was also there.
Leighanne was on the set of the "I Want It That Way" video, which was filmed the Los Angeles International Airport (or LAX). She was pretty nice.
Leighanne was at the taping of the Disney concert in New York City. She was sitting up in a balconey with Nick's (ex)girlfriend, Mandy, much to the dismay of some fans who continuously yelled throughout the 2-hour taping "We love you, Brian!" alternating it with "Leighanne SUCKS!" I, personally, wouldn't have done that considering Brian was able to hear that (which was most likely the girls' intention)and also because it's embarrassing not only to Leighanne, but to those fans as well. Live and Learn. Here's a of Leighanne and one of Leighanne and Nick's (ex)girlfriend, Mandy before the taping in front of their hotel:
Leighanne was at the live broadcast of Saturday Night Live in New York City, when the Boys performed and where Brian and the rest of the guys were talking to people and signing autographs for the few BSB fans that were there, backstage.

Leighanne was at the Phoenix concert. My cousin, our then-boyfriends, and I talked to her backstage. Our boyfriends thought she was a "total hottie", as they put it. Also, our seats were pretty close to where she was sitting.

Leighanne enjoyed a night of basketball with Brian, after the Boys sang the "National Anthem", along with Kevin and fellow Backstreet girlfriend, Kristin.
Leighanne went with Brian and his parents, Harold Jr. and Jackie Littrell, to the Thoroughblades game, where Brian sang the "National Anthem". She was also at the meet-n-greet given to benefit Brian's foundation and some fans who talked to Leighanne said she was "cordial, friendly, just plain sweet." Here's a picture of Leighanne and a fan at the meet-n-greet. I want to thank The Mature Fan Club for allowing me to use this picture:
Leighanne was with Brian at the Grammys. She was dressed better than she was last year (thank God). Me and my friends sat pretty close to the guys, but not as close as we have before.
Leighanne was at the charity basketball game Brian played in. One fan said that Brian donated $1,000 of his own money to his foundation and that it probably would've been more but Leighanne was there and they needed to save up for the wedding. Yeah right! Like they need money for the wedding. I'm guessing this person is not too fond of Leighanne and said it in a non-direct way. Here's a picture of Leighanne with Nick's girlfriend, Mandy:
Leighanne attended the Barnstable-Barn party and the races of the Kentucky Derby with Brian. The couple were engaged in much conversation, probably asking about the upcoming wedding. Here's a picture of them at the Barnstable-Barn party:
Leighanne and Brian were spotted at a K-Mart in Marietta, Georgia, hometown of Leighanne. They were spotted by many fans and when the cashier was ringing up their purchases, he asked, "Are you Brian Littrell?" and he said, "Yeah, but shhh. Don't say anything." Seems that Leighanne was home visiting relatives and probably planning more details of the upcoming wedding.
Leighanne attended the premiere of the movie, In Crowd without Brian. Here's a couple of pictures of her arrival:

Leighanne's movie will World Premiere in Orlando, FL, on February 2, 2000, if I got my information right. The movie will then be released around Orlando and throughout Florida. If there's enough interest, it will be released in other states as well before being released on video, hopefully by February 14th, says the producer. A deal has been made with "United Artist", so if you have a "United Artist Theatre" near you, it could come to your theatre. The movie is rated PG-13, so any Backstreet Fans or Leighanne fans interested can go see it. You might want to since Brian and AJ have tiny parts in it, as well as 'Lil Tyk.
Leighanne and Brian have been receiving threatening emails and their case has now been taken over by the FBI, according to OliveJuice.com, the official website for Leighanne's movie. So, any threatening emails, or snail mail for that matter, will be traced back to its sender, who will then face dire consequences.
Leighanne's movie, Olive Juice is going to premiere in Orlando on February 14th, Baltimore, MD in March 2001, and the Las Vegas, NV, date hasn't been set yet. Also, pictures of Leighanne's and Brian's wedding can be seen in the new In Style magazine (with Jennifer Lopez on the cover). Check it out!
Leighanne's movie, Olive Juice will be open to the public on February 15th for those living in the Orlando area. To see it, go to the United Artists Theatre at the Seminole Towne Center. You can also purchase tickets in advance by visiting www.uatc.com (United Artists) or by calling the theater: Seminole Towne Center 10, 430 Towne Center Circle, Sanford, FL, 32771, or 407-324-4222.
According to several Blockbusters around the country, the video release of Olive Juice has been pushed back to April. But the movie will be taking a tour to several major cities, such as Orlando, Los Angeles, and Las Vegas. So all you, Backstreet Fans and Leighanne Fans, will eventually be able to see the movie. They showed a little bit of footage from the movie on Total Request Live a couple days ago. They showed Brian's part and AJ's part and a little bit of Leighanne's part. The soundtrack to Olive Juice, which was produced by Leighanne and Brian, is available at Olive-Juice.com, as well as other souvinirs.
This past Wednesday was the Orlando premiere of Leighanne's movie, Olive Juice. Brian attended with Leighanne. I think the rest of the Boys were there also. Afterward, they all headed to a club called "Tabu", which is owned by Howie, for the premiere party.
Just a little information on Leighanne's movie. Tonight is the last night to see Olive Juice in Orlando before the movie heads to Orange City, FL, where it will start playing tomorrow at the United Artist Movies at the Marketplace. There was a review of the movie in the Orlando Sentinal and the critic basically said he didn't like it and was not impressed by the storyline, Leighanne's acting, or her co-star James Berlau's acting. But some fans have gone to see it and while most of their opinions are good, there are couple who thought it sucked. I haven't seen it, but when it comes to Los Angeles, I will be sure to stop by the movie theater.
Leighanne will be trying out for the role "Maureen" in the musical Rents on April 15th. She say's she's "nervous and jumpy" about her first vocal role. She said, "I couldn't keep a tune if I had 6 months of singing lessons!" Good luck at your audition, Leighanne!!
Leighanne is preparing to start production in a new movie called Megalodoon, which will be filmed in New Jersey. I don't know what it's about, who's co-starring or anything about it. All I know is that Brian will be dropping by the set every once in a while to visit Leighanne when he's on a break from touring.
A deal with Blockbuster has been made to release Leighanne's movie Olive Juice on video. At my local Blockbuster, it was supposed to be released on the 3rd, but I went there and I didn't see it. Anyway, as for the video going on sale, it's hoped to be available in November, I think.
A big congratulations goes out to Leighanne. She landed the role of "Maureen" in the Broadway musical "RENT". Leighanne went with Brian to the Nickelodeon Kid's Choice Awards. She was shown sitting in the audience wearing the little green ears when the Baha Men came out to except their award for "Who Let The Dogs Out?" She looked like she was having fun and singing along.
A deal has been signed with Blockbuster and Leighanne's movie Olive Juice will be in stores in October.

Here are more pictures of Leighanne. The first two are publicity shots for Olive Juice, I think. At least, they were taken when Leighanne first got the part of "Michelle". The next one was taken a long time ago, I'm not sure when. Then the next are a head shot and a modeling shot.
Here's a picture of Leighanne and Nick's girlfriend, Mandy somewhere (don't know where).
Here is Leighanne and Brian holding 'Lil Tyk and Litty Leigh.
My Opinion of Leighanne
I'll admit it. At first, I didn't like her. Why?? Because of a bad encounter. I first met her in Los Angeles at a Backstreet Boys concert. I was walking around and on cloud nine after having talked to AJ's mother, Denise McLean, and Nick's father, Robert Carter, getting messages to both AJ and Nick. Then I spotted my friends talking to this blond-haired woman. My friends and I had already been told that Brian's girlfriend was on tour with him by some crew members. We talked to her for a while. Then as soon as were back at our seats we were like, "She's fake". But then taking into consideration everything that had happend that year, what with Brian's surgery and touring with him all summer, she must've been tired. And she knows the importance of being nice to the fans, so she tried to be nice. But now, after a few more encounters, I've come to like her. I think she's really nice and I enjoy meeting up with her now. I think her and Brian are really cute together and I'm glad Brian's found her to be the one he spends the rest of his life with. Believe me, I was not thrilled she married him, just because Brian's my favorite Backstreet Boy, but if she's the one, then that's fine with me. I just want Brian to be happy. And you can tell their happy whenever they're together. So I wish them the best of luck in their future together.
