Penn State fans hold fall wedding the right way

Courtney Maholtz laughed when her fiance Chad suggested they get married in the parking lot outside Beaver Stadium before a Penn State football game. She must be a keeper, though, because he managed to talk her into tailgating for the reception.

The Maholtzs were married Friday night at the Eisenhower Chapel on Penn State's campus. On Saturday, they drove Chad's blue-and-white RV on the same four-mile trek it makes most Saturdays in the fall. This time they packed a wedding cake and invited a band to join them. Somewhere in the neighborhood of 150 friends and family joined the party, but Chad was happy to be part of a bigger crowd.
