Sports Illustrated reports this week that a 38-year old bride in England, Karen Bell, sewed her own wedding dress for her December 21 ceremony by stitching together parts of vintage jerseys of her husband Simon Bell’s favorite team, Manchester City.
Here’s the account from the Manchester City website. After the ceremony, the newlyweds went from Chester to Etihad Stadium and arrived in time to watch their favorite side defeat Stoke city, 3-0. (The Blues did not fare as well today, losing an FA Cup match to cross-town rival, Manchester United, 3-2.)
SI calls the fact that someone would make her wedding dress from soccer jerseys a “Sign of the Apocalypse.” Coach P thinks it’s a great idea and that the bride looks stunning, but then recall I wanted my bride to dribble a ball down the aisle when we got married March 13, 2010, a suggestion quickly rejected.
