College Football Player Marries in Rainy, On-Field Wedding Ceremony: Watch the Viral Vows
The bride wore black and the groom wore shorts and a sweaty shirt. But when Caitlin Myers and Bishop Woods said “I do” on a rainy Tuesday in Murray, Kentucky, the pair couldn’t have been happier.
The couple, who have been together for three years, decided to forgo a big church wedding in favor of a more personalized fete. According to The Associated Press, the ceremony took place after Tuesday’s practice, with Woods’ Murray State teammates there as witnesses.
Myers was extended the courtesy of an umbrella while Woods stood smiling in the rain. The Racers’ offensive line coach, Brian Hamilton—an ordained minister—presided over the ceremony, which they held at the 50-yard line.
Woods and Myers’ vows were at times heartfelt and serious and at times goofy, as when Woods promised to protect his love from “spiders as well as all other insects, including ones that fly,” and to love her in sickness and in health, “even if that sickness is caused by mimosas or margaritas or any other cocktails that might become trendy in the future.”
He also promised to “have a solid answer for ‘What are you thinking about?’ at least 50 percent of the time.”
Myers returned Woods’ hilarious vows with a few funny quips of her own, promising to love Woods in sickness and in health, “even when that sickness is caused by losses by his team, any team he is coaching, the teams of his children or any team he supports or wagers on.”
She also promised to “have a solid answer for ‘What do you want to eat?’ at least 50 percent of the time.”
Woods’ teammates cheered as the couple, teary from their vows, shared their first kiss as husband and wife.
The pair welcomed a son together four months ago. Watch the video above.
