Britain may have royal weddings, but in America we’ve got something far better: the Krashlyn wedding.
The anticipated marriage between USWNT stars Ali Krieger and Ashlyn Harris was held with soccer royalty in attendance on Saturday in Miami, Florida.
Megan Rapinoe, Alex Morgan, Abby Wambach, Heather O’Reilly, Marta, Becky Sauerbrunn, Crystal Dunn, Tobin Heath, Christen Press and more were on hand as two of their teammates tied the knot.
Krieger, 35, and Harris, 34, announced their engagement in March. The two have been through a lot together, both on and off the field, including winning two Women’s World Cup titles. Both are current members of the Orlando Pride and they finally committed their futures to each other at a beautiful ceremony in Miami.
The festivities began on Friday evening with a dinner at Seaspice in Miami. Earlier in the day, both Krieger and Harris were named to the first USWNT roster of 2020 ahead of Olympic qualifying.

It was a fun night for all, though Morgan and O’Reilly were unable to drink because of recently announced pregnancies.
Saturday morning started with a bit of rain, which of course Krieger and Harris ran through.

It’s like ray-eee-aaayyn on your wedding day!
Early Saturday, both Ali and Ashlyn reasserted their love and excitement to get hitched.
But that’s not to say there weren’t some nerves.
Rapinoe posted a story to Instagram showing what appears to be Harris taking a CBD gummy before the wedding.
Before anyone gets too indignant, CBD gummies are completely legal in the U.S. Also, it should be mentioned the gummy came from Mendi, a company founded by Megan Rapinoe’s sister Rachael and makes CBD products for athletes. But if we’re being real here, if Harris truly wanted something to calm her down, she would’ve found some gummies with actual THC.
Krashlyn Wedding
Eventually, it was time for the wedding.

We didn’t get photos of the actual wedding right away, because people were polite and kept their phones in their pockets for the ceremony.
Fortunately, Crystal Dunn, among others, had their phones out for the reception. Here are some highlights.

Finally, Ali and Ashlyn (among others) posted some photos and videos of the Krashlyn wedding for all to see.

Thanks to all the USWNT fans on Instagram who turned famous peoples’ Story posts into permanent IG posts for the sake of this article.
Finally, we’d be remiss if we didn’t mention the fact Harris wasn’t the only USWNT goalkeeper to get married recently. Adrianna Franch married Emily Boscacci on Dec. 21, just a few days after completing her degree at Oklahoma State University.
