Over the next four days, Joe Smith and Allie LaForce will involve themselves in some life-changing commitments.
The high-profile sports couple — he’s the Los Angeles Angels relief pitcher formerly of the Wright State Raiders; she’s the former Miss Teen USA and Ohio University basketball player who is a CBS Sports sideline reporter and studio host — will get married Saturday in Cleveland.
Tonight, though, the couple will be at the Nutter Center with a different set of vows.
They will be featured in a fund-raising meet and greet before Wright State’s game with Cleveland State.
