Gone but not forgotten Jodie SweetinOpened up about how Bob Saget’s presence was felt at her wedding following his death – and it involved John Stamos’ wardrobe.
“John was getting ready to leave the house, I guess, and [his wife] Caitlin [McHugh] looked at him and was like, ‘You can’t wear that shirt. That shirt’s not working. It doesn’t look good,’” Sweetin, 40, recalled to E!’s Daily PopInterview published Tuesday, August 16. “He’s like, ‘Ugh, fine.’ So he goes up to his closet, grabs a black button-up shirt, gets in the car. He’s like ‘Why is this shirt so big? Why is this shirt so big?’ He realized it was one of the shirts [Bob’s wife] Kelly [Rizzo] had given him out of Bob’s closet, and it was this black button-up that Bob would always wear.”
Sweetin continued, “It was Bob’s shirt, so Bob was there in this weird little way. John hugged me and I then kissed the shirt. I was like, ‘Bob’s here too.’”
