In what they both describe as a surreal experience, Foxborough couple Lisa and Robert Laumann were married on the Gillette Stadium field with only Robert’s mother, each of their daughters and Foxborough Town Clerk and Wedding Officiant Bob Cutler in attendance. The couple are lifelong Patriots fans and Robert has been attending games with his brother, who is a Season Ticket Member, since the 1970s. “I still to this day can’t believe I was actually out on the field getting married,” Robert said. “When we were out there, it’s just some place you always see from the stands and to be down on the field where all the greats play, the chills that ran through me were unbelievable. I can’t even explain it. It almost seemed like a little bit of a dream.” The wedding ceremony was beyond anything Robert or Lisa, both long-time Foxborough residents, could ever have imagined. After having their first date seven years ago at Foxborough staple Jake n’ Joes, the couple planned to tie the knot in Ireland on June 15. However, in the midst of COVID-19, they both quickly realized that trip was no longer a possibility. Following Robert’s sudden cancer diagnosis, they decided to still move forward with the wedding this spring, and opted for a quiet affair at faces of foxborough Foxborough Town Hall. But after Robert’s daughter overheard Robert joking with Lisa that they should just get married at KURT EVANS Gillette Stadium, an entirely different plan was set in motion. Kurt Evans moved to Foxborough in 2018 When the wedding day came, Robert and Lisa got into separate when he became curator of the Patriots Hall cars with their respective daughters, anticipating a short drive of Fame. Located in the heart of Patriot Place, down the street to Town Hall. But to their complete surprise and a few turns later, they were pulling into the Gillette Stadium the Hall showcases team history and the greatest Patriots parking lot and walking on to the field. players and moments through interactive exhibits and “I had no idea what was going on,” Lisa said. “Then my cutting-edge technology, including comprehensive exhibits daughter took that left into the stadium and I was like, ‘You’ve detailing each of the team’s six Super Bowl Championships. got to be kidding me.’ Honestly to this day, we still don’t know In his role as curator, Kurt archives the extensive how we got in there.” collection, assists with assembling exhibits, develops new The ceremony on the field wasn’t the only surprise for the concepts for exhibits, and procures new items for display.
