Son of Walter Payton weds

March 7, 2009 (CHICAGO) Jarrett Payton, son of Bears great Walter Payton, got married on Wednesday in Florida.

On Saturday night, he and his bride Trisha celebrated with friends and family in Chicago.

The new Mr. and Mrs. Payton took to the floor for the first dance. Then Jarrett danced with his mother Connie and sister Brittney.

While it was a night to celebrate, it was also a time to remember the late Walter Payton and his time with the Bears.

"To be able to be here and to have this special night is something that is unbelievable and it's basically just an honor," said Jarrett Payton.

"I think its just having Walter's presence here. We know holding it here, he's with us," said Trisha Patyone.

The couple says they always knew they'd have their reception at Soldier Field.
