Bob Eubanks @ 76ers Home game vs. Orlando tomorrow night!!!

[Brett Ferino]

Bob Eubanks is returning as witness at the Philadelphia 76ers this year for the "HalfTime Weddings" The game is a home game against 76ers vs. Orlando, which is the game I will be attending. Hey, here's the complete story about it, courtesy of National Basketball Association (NBA):

Cupid will be very busy at the First Union Center when 76 couples lace up their high-tops and jump onto center court to say “I Do,” at the sixth annual Sixers Halftime Wedding. The Sixers are partnering with WJJZ 106.1, American Airlines and Nestlé for Friday, Feb. 14th’s annual ritual. “Mr. Newlywed” himself, Bob Eubanks, returns as the official witness, and Philadelphia’s Honorable Ronald B. Merriweather will officiate the Halftime Wedding ceremony, when the 76ers take on the Orlando Magic at 8 p.m.

Eubanks is making his fourth appearance for the Sixers at the Halftime Wedding. Host of the successful Newlywed Game television show from 1968-73, Eubanks’ credits include hosting six other game shows during his career. Additionally, throughout his career, he formed his own production company and managed the successful music careers of Dolly Parton, Barbara Mandrell, Marty Robbins, and Merle Haggard. Eubanks started his broadcasting career as a radio disc jockey, and can still be seen hosting “The Hollywood Christmas Parade” with co-host Leeza Gibbons. He recently hosted “Most Outrageous Game Show Moments 2,” which aired in primetime on NBC on Tuesday, Feb. 11, and will host “Most Outrageous Game Show Moments 3” on Tuesday, Feb. 18 at 8 p.m. on NBC.

“This is my fourth season acting as the official witness for the Sixers Halftime Wedding,” Eubanks said. “I thought that I had seen just about everything as host of the Newlywed Game. But to witness 76 couples getting married or renewing their vows at halftime, now that is a site to behold!”

This marks the sixth season that the Sixers have hosted their successful Halftime Wedding. In 1997, over 50 couples took part in the ceremony at the Sixers-Nuggets game on Feb. 16, and in 1998, 76 couples participated at the Sixers-Nets game. In 2001, the 76ers married one special couple at halftime of the 76ers-Lakers game on Feb. 14. Last year, once again saw 76 couples marry or renew their vows on center court. Merriweather, who serves in the Philadelphia Municipal Court, will be officiating the ceremony for the first time.

After the ceremony is complete, there will be a special postgame reception in the Red Bell Brewery for the couples, friends and fans. WJJZ 106.1 will send one of the lucky, randomly picked couples, to one of 14 great Caribbean destinations. American Airlines will award two randomly selected couples transportation anywhere in the United States, while the Tropicana Casino And Resort - Atlantic City is giving four other couples VIP Escapes. Nestlé will provide sweet treats to all of the couples, plus a chocolate treat to everyone who enters the building.
