The nuptials are on hold, but there will still be a party this Sunday afternoon.
Julia Lee, 22, and a 2004 Lawrence High graduate, said her planned wedding to a man popularly known around the Kansas University campus as White Owl has been postponed.
But the couple still plans to have a celebration from 2 p.m. to 4 p.m. Sunday at the Loose Park Rose Garden in Kansas City, Mo., where they will "encourage everyone to join us in vowing to love our own selves in sickness and health," Lee wrote in an e-mail to the Journal-World.
White Owl, 61, is also known as musician Saul Tucker or Jimmy Neil Tucker, but he has recently become popular on campus for his white beard and appearances and dances at KU events.
As for the wedding, Lee said all of the recent media attention has made things stressful, so the couple wants to key it down. They have also been talking about a private ceremony later when their KU friends return to Lawrence.
The couple could not be reached by phone on Friday.

In other news,I replaced my entire arsenal of socks and underwear recently.I still prefer briefs over boxers and have actually considered sandals as an alternative to shoes which would ultimately stretch my sock dollar.

I wonder if Julia's parents vow to disinherit her if she married this clown had any impact?

Maybe Julia is having second thoughts? Maybe her parents are getting to her? I think these two do not end up married.

Isn't of White Owl filter, why not an article about this news?:The owner of ktka-tv Channel 49 has decided to put the station up for sale, a company official said Friday. “A lot of challenges are facing media today,” said Patrick Knorr, chief operating officer of The World Co. in Lawrence. “We're looking at strategic options, including a sale”. . .

For this newspaper to continue to broadcast this nonsense is just insane. Is it THAT slow of news day? I am disappointed a college town publication stoops to such a level.

Um, not news, people.And furthermore, if all the press attention has made it “stressful” enough for them to “key it down,” why would you send a letter to the LJWorld to inform a news agency of the development?Weird.

Don't blame the LJW. This was in the KC Star yesterday. Be glad it's a slow news week and the papers have room to run weird news items like this. It's funny. Judging from the number of comments generated by the original articles on the pair, what should the paper conclude but that people are, indeed, interested?—if only in the same way they'd be interested in watching a train full of politicians run into the side of a mountain!

Ew…I've tried to be open-minded about this, but…ew…I'm sorry but there has to be something wrong with that girl. She's 21 for crying out loud! She's too young to get married to ANYONE in my opinion, let alone to some dude old enough to be her grandpa.

ljworld,I ignored this *until you put it as the top headline!* what the heck is wrong with you! ljworld, you could, if you cared, do a story on oh say pothole production? more relevant? or, why is grass green?***I say:the delay is because Owlie has to get his prostate check done.As for the wedding, Lee said all of the recent media attention has made things stressful, so the couple wants to key it down. They have also been talkingabout a private ceremony later when their KU friends return to Lawrence.The couple could not be reached by phone on Friday.so, there's extra stress, the media attention is really bumming them out (they didn't think this would be unusual), and the newspaper tried to reach them for comment. 1+2+3=6. shazzayam!

I believe when these two announced their marriage in the LJW a while back, they said they knew when they first met that they had so much in common and that they were meant for each other. At least that's the impression I got from the article. Well, being only twenty-one and such a renowned authority on such worldly feelings, he's just an elderly old man feeling pretty perky about having a young chick that evidently is still pretty wet behind the ears. I would say the whole situation is weird and who cares! Let them buy matching tie-dyed garb and be twins, just get on with more important news LJW. Nobody cares!

Hey KSA_21_3503, I've been wanting to ask you why you chose the Kansas statute regarding indecent liberties with a child as your user name. I'm not trying to be coy, I would just like to better understand your rationale. I have a really difficult time understanding why ayone would want THAT as their user name.http://kansasstatutes.lesterama.org/Chapter_21/Article_35/21-3503.html

I'm with you bad_dog about your question to KSA_21_3503. KSA sounds like another freak. And for White Owl and his ability to manipulate a young girl.. All I can say is…. What a couple of flakes. Lawrence is full of them and the newspaper promotes it.

Every single native american I know dislikes this man with a passion, I hope he feels ok with making himself out to be somehow native. But I'm sure with all the drugs he's done, wouldn't be suprised if he thought he was from mars.Bossa_Nova (Anonymous) says: will there be free food and booze at the celebration?______________And some killer green, acid, X and who knows what else.

If they chose to announce it in public, we get to comment on it. I didn't say anything negative about the marriage.
