They did it! Ali Krieger and Ashlyn Harris have officially tied the knot!
The two Orlando Pride players were married in Miami at Vizcaya Museum and Gardens on Saturday, and naturally there were a number of other popular soccer stars in attendance, including Megan Rapinoe and Alex Morgan.
Krieger and Harris confirmed their long-suspected relationship back in March when they announced their engagement, though they have been together since playing on the U.S. National Team almost ten years ago.
“We became really close friends, and we just hung out, we clicked, and we had so much in common,” Harris told People earlier this year. “We always sat next to each other on the bus and on flights, and we kind of just talked about our dreams and our hopes and what we wanted to do one day when we grew up. Because at the time, we were kids.”
“The rest has kind of been history,” she added.
And taking their relationship to the next level by getting married was an important step for the two women, who made sure to source items and services for their wedding from people who support the LGBTQ community.
“This will be the first time in our relationship were 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,” Harris explained.
“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.”
The newlyweds say they're holding off on taking their honeymoon for the time being, and plan to head off to a dreamy destination after the 2020 Olympics. But for now, they just get to enjoy the start of a new decade together as Mrs. and Mrs.
