Marriann has been extremely busy moving to Nashville and then a number of different family issues to deal with along the way. Seems like the job of mother never ends.

I talked with Marriann today and we’re thinking about working out a way for Marriann to possibly record a quick audio “podcast” about Derek and Julianne. I would then post the audio for everyone to enjoy. We’ll see how that goes and if it works out the way we’d like it to work out.

Marriann is very excited for the next season of Dancing with the Stars. I’m sure everyone saw the Dancing with the Stars couples. Derek is paired with Grammy Award winning rapper Lil’ Kim. Julianne is paired with country singer (and boyfriend) Chuck Wicks.

Should be another exciting season of Dancing with the Stars. Hopefully Marriann and myself will have time to share some interesting details on the life of Derek and Julianne.

Hopefully this post will answer that question for you.

I (John) have been assisting Marriann with this website (read more here) and it just so happened that my wife and I were going to be in Southern California on the night of the finale. Marriann was very gracious and said that we could come backstage on the show and possibly get in to see the finale. The following 2 pictures were taken by Marriann of my wife and I with Chuck and Shannon.

They were both very nice to us. We had a nice little conversation with Chuck and Julianne and Chuck looked very cute together. Shannon Elizabeth looked wonderful. Near the end of Derek and Brooke’s dance at the finale, I glanced over to where Shannon was sitting and she was beaming. It was a very sweet moment that the cameras didn’t catch, but was really quite wonderful.

Sorry to borrow Marriann’s blog for a moment, but I thought that fans of Derek and Julianne would enjoy the pictures and would need to know why my wife and I were in the pictures. My only regret was that I wasn’t able to get a picture of Julianne with Chuck and Derek with Shannon. I’m sure Marriann will post some of those in the future.

Thanks Marriann for giving us a once in a lifetime opportunity to be at the finale.

As I posted in the previous post, we’re just getting started on this website covering Julianne Hough. It’s the beginning of what we believe will be a great experience for Julianne Hough’s mom to interact with Julianne’s fans and for Julianne’s mom to be able to share her experience and perspective on her daughter Julianne.

Who we are?
My name is John and through an interesting set of coincidences (and love of Dancing with the Stars), I was introduced to Julianne Hough’s mom Marriann Nelson. Marriann had this great desire to be able to share her story about Julianne and Derek Hough and I have quite a bit of background in creating websites and marketing them. Pure Julianne Hough and Pure Julianne Hough are the offspring of our meeting each other.

Yes, Marriann is the real mom of Julianne Hough.

The plan is for Marriann to do most of the writing about her children along with snapping plenty of pictures and possibly posting audio or videos of Julianne also. I’ll certainly be assisting Marriann and you may also find me writing a thing or to about Julianne Hough myself.

My guess is that if you’re reading this blog, then you know who Julianne Hough is quite well. However, for those less informed he’s a partial biography of some of Julianne Hough’s most significant accomplishments.
