Pawn Stars host Rick Harrison shared reflections on his son Corey’s wedding, which he had to miss due to recovery from a motorcycle accident that left him with 11 broken ribs.
On January 27, Harrison and his wife, Agripina “Angie” Polushkin, celebrated a family wedding in Mexico, following their earlier vows in Las Vegas. Corey, known as “Big Hoss” from the show, was hospitalized and could not attend. Harrison mentioned he visited Corey the day before the wedding, feeling it was unfortunate his son was absent as Corey was supposed to be one of his groomsmen.
“It’s a shame he didn’t do that,” Harrison expressed. “I wanted him to be there. He was one of my groomsmen.”
Despite the circumstances, Harrison was relieved by the proximity of the hospital to Cancun, allowing him to visit. He noted that while Corey’s injuries were painful, there was no internal damage. “He’s in a lot of pain. If you’ve ever broken a rib, you know what it’s like,” he remarked.
The television personality detailed his interactions with Corey on the wedding day, highlighting how they communicated via phone and FaceTime. However, Corey was not in the best condition, sounding groggy and possibly affected by pain medication.
The day before the wedding, Corey shared his hospital experience on Instagram, revealing the aftermath of his solo motorcycle accident. He candidly admitted the crash bars on his bike minimized his injuries but acknowledged the seriousness of his condition.
“Pretty messed up but the crash bar is great. I was in the hospital for 3 nights and my ribcage was broken 11 times,” Corey wrote. He added his regrets about missing his father’s wedding.
Rick Harrison has been married multiple times, first to Kim Harrison, with whom he shares two sons. Following various marriages and relationships, he found love with Angie, a nurse in Las Vegas. They decided to have a second, more formal wedding in Mexico after their initial ceremony in Las Vegas, which was officiated by an Elvis impersonator.
Reflecting on their weddings, Harrison explained that they also opted for a small celebration in Las Vegas for family and friends who could not travel to Mexico.
“And we wanted a big wedding,” he stated. He vividly recalled the emotions of the Mexican ceremony, especially the moment he read Angie’s written vows. “It meant so much to me. She looked really beautiful,” he added.
Harrison concluded by expressing his admiration for Angie, noting her intelligence, her upbringing within a Russian family, and their engaging conversations. He emphasized how special their relationship is, hinting he would love to relive their wedding experience if possible.
