We’ve got spirit, yes we do, we’ve got spirit how ‘bout you? Sports fans fall in love every day; whether they are both in love with the same sports team or fell in love with a rival team’s #1 fan, couples have the opportunity to show off their love for each other and their favorite sport during their wedding day. In honor of the March Wedding Madness Bracket Challenge contest, Chapel of the Flowers has put together a list of our favorite sports-themed wedding ideas.
