Soccer stars Ali Krieger and Ashlyn Harris get married in dream wedding surrounded by friends and family
Soccer stars and World Cup champions Ali Krieger and Ashlyn Harris are married! The pair exchanged vows at the Vizcaya Museum and Gardens in Miami, Florida, according to a report by People.
The couple took their time to build their dream wedding and shared with the magazine that they instantly fell in love with the place when they first saw it.
"It was this kind of Mediterranean castle-like vibe right on the water, this European-type vibe that we were going for," Krieger explained. "Right when we walked in we were like, 'Oh my God. We love this and everyone else was going to love this and this is just … This is it'."
Meanwhile, Harris added, "I think the biggest thing for Ali and I was creating an environment where it was a very classic and clean and modern and just really sharp and almost in a magical way that's kind of what our vision was from the very beginning."
"So right off the bat, we excluded anything rustic, anything barn door, anything that had that kind of aesthetic. And I think that for me personally, the venue was the most important thing," she added.
Harris revealed that the wedding was a very special occasion for them. "This will be the first time in our relationship where all of our friends, all of our family are going to come together to be one and to celebrate us on a completely different level," she said.
"I think so much of our support from our family and friends have been through soccer and this is just so much more meaningful, in my opinion, to be celebrated for love and acceptance and inclusion, that's so major in the world we live in now," she pointed out.
She continued, "So I'm so excited to have this type of platform to have this type of visibility to be seen as a gay couple and it is accepted and it is important."
