NFL-themed wedding includes groom who changed middle name to ‘Charger’

Chargers cake, Chargers dress, Chargers ring, Chargers invitation, Chargers EVERYTHING.

The thorough Chargers-ness of this Chargers-themed wedding is impressive:

And the bride’s reaction to that when she found out, which probably foretold a happy partnership to come:

Phouva, who came to the United States from Laos when he was 15, is now a firefighter with the U.S. Forest Service. He is such a die-hard Chargers fan that he legally changed his middle name to “Charger.”

“I was drawn by that already,” said Garcia.

The couple is building a (second!) school in Laos, too, which is very nice. You can already guess the mascot and color scheme of any varsity sports teams established in said school.
