It’s hard enough getting people you know to show up to your own wedding. Imagine trying to get your favorite NFL player there. That’s exactly what one fan did.
Eagles guard Brandon Brooks received a letter from a lifelong Philadelphia fan attended Miami University in Ohio, the same school Brooks did.
Thanks for the letter @geoff_lane .Idk you and we’ve never met. All I know is you’re an @Eagles fan and a @miamiuniversity grad.See you Sat pic.twitter.com/vNaRUiiw8z

Brooks let them and his followers know via Twitter he would be attending, surely a shock to the couple, Geoff and Marni.
He later posted proof that he was making the two hour commute from Philadelphia to Oxford, OH.
So you know it’s real pic.twitter.com/uST33k7fKO

Brooks eventually made it, marking the only time an Eagles player has seen a ring.
To @geoff_lane and Marni I appreciate you allowing us to be there for your special day @miamiuniversity @Eagles #LoveandHonor pic.twitter.com/iZdBO1dE9t
