This gorgeous couple is Haley and Matt Kalil, getting married at Tunnels Beach. It
was a secret ceremony just before the NFL Training Camp season was about to
begin. Matt, you see is a NFL Pro Bowl (and former All American ) guard for at the time of his wedding, the Minnesota Vikings. But very recently he signed with the Carolina
Panthers for what is purported to be the biggest contract for an offensive lineman
ever. And that’s not even the best news.
He gets to play along side his All Pro brother, Ryan, who is the starting
center for the Panthers.
Now, when I performed Matt and Haley’s wedding ceremony, not
being a big football fan, I had no idea who Matt was. All I knew was this
beautiful women, with an incredible smile and personality to match, is marrying
this really huge guy. I felt like a munchkin. I remember talking with Joel Guy,
the videographer @hanaleishack saying "this guy is big! He must be somebody."
But, with good manners in hand, neither of us asked. We just had a fun time with
Matt and Haley.
After the wedding, I was telling my wife, Elaine about this
beautiful bride with a very big husband. I showed her the marriage license and
she, being a big football fan said, “My god, that’s Matt Kalil, he’s All Pro.”
We later found out that Haley (O’Brien) was Miss Minnesota USA and a
semifinalist in Miss USA 2014 contest.
At the time Joel, Coordinator Hailey Zietz (yes,
Sebastian’s sister) and I knew we just had a really fun time with a really good
looking couple and later found out who they were. Lucky photographer Naomi Wong
@naomiwongphotography got to spend the next day with them doing another photo
session!
