Needle
The Christies Continue To Give Back While Keeping Their Bond Strong
LOS ANGELES, July 4 /PRNewswire/ -- NBA star Doug Christie and his wife,
Jackie, are planning to marry yet again on Tuesday, July 8th in Seattle,
Washington in a lavish ultra private ceremony. This will be the 13th wedding

Doug and Jackie have a distinctly unique bond, which spans 16 years of
both public acclaim and scrutiny. Their first book, No Ordinary Love: A True
Story of Marriage and Basketball, released through their publishing company
Infinite Love Publishing, provides a candid look at the Christies' own
relationship and illustrates how mutual respect, friendship, and a commitment
to monogamy serve as the foundation of their marriage. Their book presents
unique advice and detailed recommendations for not only making relationships
work but also making them last.
Aside from past public scrutiny as well as untrue rumors that the
Christie's had to endure, affected not only their personal life but
professional life as well. Most recent was that of veteran NBA referee Tim
Donaghy who refereed games in the NBA during Doug's tenure with the Sacramento
Kings in 2002. Tim Donaghy was accused of betting on basketball games over the
past two seasons and most recently admitted to cheating in game 6 of the
semi-finals that year between the Sacramento Kings and the Los Angeles Lakers'
basketball teams. "I am devastated to now find out the game was not officiated
fairly," says Christie. "Not just for myself and my family but for my
teammates as well who put their heart and soul on the line, the fans and the
players out there on the floor right now. Who can tell what's 'real' and
what's fake?""We strive to be positive role models and make good things happen for
everyone, that is why we established our companies to make a difference," said
Jackie Christie.
None of the harsh treatment they face, will stop Doug and Jackie from
doing what is important to them. To mark their 13th anniversary, the couple
will donate $100,000.00 (US) to charity and plan to invite 100 gay and lesbian
couples to join them next July for their 14th wedding to marry in one joint
ceremony. We will be honored to do it said Jackie Christie. They continue to
participate in non-profit organizations such as the BLACK HIV/AIDS Institute
helping to raise awareness on the wide spread epidemic surrounding the
disease, as well as their work with longtime Seattle, Washington charity the
Millionaires Club, amongst others.
"The power couple is also responsible for inspiring so many other couples
including celebrity couples, to marry more than once, we are so happy to see
so many people now choosing to marry multiple times, or renew their vows
privately and publicly. Our hearts warm when someone say's thank you for
inspiring us," said Doug Christie.
The Christie's daughter, role model and multi talented entertainer Chani,
whom recently released her debut album, 'My Dream' is following in her parents
footsteps with her own philanthropy as well. By being named the YMCA National
