Featuring names from across the world of sports
“I like your last name. Can I have it?”
— a bride to her husband
“Don’t forget your wife’s name. That will mess up the love.”
— an 8-year-old girl’s marriage advice
In honor of my daughter and her husband, who were married July 1, 2017, this All-Wedding Team has only two members:
All-Wedding Team
Kayla Tyson née Deckert — soccer
Andrew Tyson — lacrosse
Normally, each All-Name Team has five members because my longtime favorite sport, basketball, allows five players per team on the court:
All-Wedding Day Team 1
Kayla Day — tennis
Andrew Gaze — basketball
Jameill Showers — football
Diamond Stone — basketball
Destiny Vaeao — football
All-Wedding Day Team 2
Hap Day (aka Clarence Henry “Happy” Day) — hockey
Ereck Flowers — football
Adoree’ Jackson — football
I.J. Ready — basketball
Vincent Valentine — football
— Bruce William Deckert
