        One of the wackiest local marriages ever is at a crossroads &amp;hellip; Seven short years ago, then-17-year-old &amp;ldquo; Home Improvement&amp;rdquo; star Taran Noah Smith skipped on his parents, ran away with Heidi Van Pelt of Kansas City and was married by lawyer David Scott Whinery in Lawrence with a cadre of strippers serving as bridesmaids.
