Football Power Couple's Wedding Details Revealed
International football stars Sam Kerr and Kristie Mewis have shared exciting details about their upcoming wedding, set to take place in Perth, Australia on New Year's Eve. The couple, who welcomed their first baby, Jagger, earlier this year, made the revelations during an appearance on The Women's Game podcast with Mewis's sister, fellow US international star Sam Mewis.
Bridezilla Rumours and Wedding Planning
During the candid conversation, Kerr quickly dismissed suggestions that her fiancée was being a 'bridezilla' about their wedding arrangements. "She's not been a bridezilla," the Chelsea striker laughed, before revealing she'd had to have a serious talk with Mewis about managing expectations. "I had to have a talk with her this morning and say that everyone is coming to celebrate us and you can't make their experience perfect," Kerr explained, adding that "we can't spoonfeed them. They're all adults."
Kerr humorously noted that Mewis's dedication to ensuring guests have a perfect experience was "sacrificing my experience," sending both Mewis sisters into fits of laughter.
New Year's Eve Celebrations and Musical Plans
When asked what aspect of the wedding she was most anticipating, Kerr didn't hesitate with her response. "I cannot wait till we're all blind drunk partying New Year's Eve in our suits and having a grand old time," she declared, describing it as a lifetime memory with all their friends dressed up.
The conversation took an amusing turn when Mewis jokingly questioned whether Kerr was more excited about the party than marrying her, prompting quick reassurances from the Australian striker.
Mewis revealed she's been curating the wedding playlist, with requests for two Fred Again songs already submitted. Kerr confidently responded that "Fred Again will be on the playlist. Don't you worry," acknowledging the artist's popularity in Australia.
Wedding Entertainment and Logistics
The couple are planning some unique entertainment for their special night, though they're still seeking ideas for the midnight celebration. "I really need some ideas on what we can do at midnight to make it New Year's," Mewis admitted, noting that Australian regulations prevent them from using fireworks or anything involving fire.
When Sam Mewis suggested glow stick glasses, Kristie firmly rejected the idea, insisting she wanted the party to continue strong after midnight rather than winding down.
For guests needing an energy boost to keep dancing into the early hours, the couple plan to provide espresso martinis and possibly a coffee stand. While Mewis questioned whether people would want espresso martinis at midnight, her sister confirmed she'd prefer a straight shot of espresso.
The wedding comes after a significant year for both players, with Kerr making her comeback from an ACL injury that kept her out for 692 days, and the couple navigating Kerr's high-profile court case where she was found not guilty of racially aggravated harassment earlier this year. With just six weeks remaining until their Perth wedding, the excitement is clearly building for what promises to be a memorable celebration.
