It’s A Very Short Engagement For Chicago Fire Player

Try your hand at this sometime: acquire the phone number of a Playboy model off Facebook, call her blind and see what happens.â†µ

â†µâ†µYeah, I should have probably added the part where you had to become a professional athlete before even attempting that move. But that’s what happened with Chicago Fire defender Krzysztof Krol and his now wife, Playboy model Patrycja Mikula. â†µ

â†µâ†µMaybe it helped to have a shared Polish background. Whatever it was, they didn’t mess around when it came to committing to one another.â†µ

â†µâ†µâ‡¥The couple got married on Thursday at Chicago’s City Hall, seven weeks after they began dating. â†µâ‡¥â†µâ‡¥Krol and Mikula called each other often after [the initial call by Krol] and eventually agreed to meet at a Fire game at Toyota Park. On May 28, Mikula’s birthday, she and Krol had each other’s first names tattooed to the inside of their left arms.â†µâ‡¥

â†µâ†µâ†µMikula formerly had a boyfriend in MMA who tried to get her to tattoo his name on her body, because apparently athletes are just into that with their girlfriends. But she balked at the permanence of the idea. But when Krol asked for it, she immediately said yes. That’s what some would call a sign.â†µ

â†µâ†µThe couple had to make it official at City Hall because of his hectic soccer schedule, but they plan to have a more formal church wedding in December after the MLS season.â†µ
