If you don't recognize the name, Mary Letourneau is a teacher who went to jail for sleeping with her student. Now that she is out, she is marrying the student. We noted a postponement of the wedding earlier. ET and it's sister show "The Insider" have a contract now for exclusive rights to the wedding.
The relationship between these two began when he was in second grade. The boy is now 22 years old.
Video footage of three days including the wedding has been licensed by the shows from New York-based World Picture News, which has served as middleman agency for celebrity weddings including that of Michael Douglas and Catherine Zeta-Jones.
"Entertainment Tonight" is produced by Paramount Domestic Television. Paramount spokesman Manfred Westphal declined to disclose the cost of the wedding footage, but said a reported sum of $500,000 was "ridiculous."

Christina Dress was one of Mary's best friends in prison...I know...I was there. I saw on the local news Christina Dress arrive by limo to the wedding and she was invited by Mary. Vili had a jelousy issue with Christina and Christina DECIDED to leave the wedding after an hour and a half of waiting for Mary. Entertainment Tonight reported that Christina Dress was 'escorted out by security' and that is UNTRUE.

Mary K. Letourneau is probably the most manipulative people alive. I've read the book written by (and with) Christina Dress and Letourneau. She worked over Christina Dress really good! I saw Dress arrive at the Letourneau wedding and leave in quite an upset. All I can say is "there's your loyal friend...Christina Dress, the REAL Mary K. Letourneau.

Christina Dress, author of Mass With Mary: The Letourneau Prison Story, was not just Mary Kay's buddy in prison. Anyone that was there would tell you the same. They were as "in love" as Letourneau pretends to be with Villi. WHATEVER!!!
What is the REAL DEAL????

Entertainment Tonight should be ashamed of themselves for this Mary Kay business. And, I too, saw the Christina Dress arrival to the wedding. Why don't people see that Dress and Letourneau are more than just friends? I read "Mass With Mary: The Prison Years" by Dress and Letourneau and it failed to discuss their intimate relationship. Interesting.
I know them both and I was there (in prison) and I know the real story. One of the comments here is so true. Mary Kay has probably played Christina Dress just as she has (and is) doing to Vili. How many lives does she intend to mess with?

This Letourneau 'thing' and yes, I am talking about Mary Kay, is another perfect example of the filth America has to deal with.......and then to put it on tv? WOW. This chick takes the cake, and didn't even have to pay for it.

I keep reading here and elsewhere that Mary and Christina were more than friends in prison. But I heard they weren't even housed together and hardly even saw each other, that's why Tama Lisa had to help with the book, and besides I have heard from others who knew Christina before that Christina friend Sheryl who is also mentioned in the book is her actual partner

I know more than I'd like to know about all this Dress-Letourneau business, I will say that. But this anonymous writer (in June) is unaware or misinformed. These two women were constantly together and everyone at that prison knows it! What ever 'other' little details are invilved I'll leave to the imagination, but Dress and Letourneau were VERY CLOSE FRIENDS. Read their book...Mass with Mary: The Prison Years...it's all there in blck and white. (well, most of it)

I read that book it was interesting but it didn't sound like they had naything going on with each other. I mean maybe they did but there aren't jucy details in the book. Disapointing HAHA! Thereis someone named Sheryl in the book but it doesn't Christina and her were togheter that way either.
If she is in love wiht Mary Kay I feel sorry for her.
