Philadelphia, PA- In a display of true love and devotion, two Eagles fans decided to exchange vows at a tailgate party before the game on Sunday. The wedding ceremony, which was held in the parking lot of Lincoln Financial Field, drew a crowd of rowdy, beer-drinking fans who were more than happy to celebrate the couple’s union.
The groom, Billy Mike, and the bride, Jenny Smith, have been die-hard Eagles fans for as long as they can remember. According to Mike, it was only natural to take their love to the next level at a tailgate party.
“We’ve always said that Eagles football and our love for each other go hand in hand,” Mike said. “So, when we decided to get married, we knew we wanted to do it at a tailgate party. It just seemed like the perfect way to start our lives together.”
The ceremony, which was officiated by a friend of the couple who also happened to be a minister, was a sight to behold. Guests chanted “E-A-G-L-E-S! Eagles!” as the couple exchanged vows and rings. The newlyweds sealed the deal with a kiss, and the crowd erupted into cheers.
Guests were treated to a spread of Eagles-themed food, including green and white cupcakes, Philly cheesesteaks, and plenty of beer. The bride and groom cut their cake with a knife made out of a football helmet, which was a hit with the crowd.
The party continued well into the afternoon, with fans cheering on the Eagles as they faced off against their rivals. The couple even took part in a pre-game tailgate game, tossing a football back and forth with their guests.
Many fans at the tailgate party said that the wedding was a perfect representation of what Eagles football is all about – passion, commitment, and a sense of community.
“Only in Philly would you see something like this,” said one fan. “It was beautiful, and it just shows how much love there is in the Eagles family.”
Others, however, were less impressed.
“Are you kidding me?” said one disgruntled fan. “Who gets married at a tailgate party? That’s just trashy.”
Despite the mixed reactions from fans, the couple said they have no regrets.
“We wouldn’t have wanted it any other way,” Smith said. “It was the perfect day, and we’ll always remember it fondly.”
As for future plans, the couple said they plan to spend their honeymoon at an Eagles away game, followed by a trip to the mecca of Eagles football – the Pro Football Hall of Fame in Canton, Ohio.
“All in all, it was a great day,” Mike said. “And now we’re ready to start our lives together as one big, happy Eagles family.”
