Eagles Coach Chip Kelly Kindly Replies To Fans’ Wedding Invite (Photo)

Chip Kelly is a popular man in Philadelphia, and the Eagles head coach recently took time to respond to a pretty unique request.

Die-hard Eagles fans Thomas Froschle and Maryanne Goslee invited Kelly to their May 10 wedding, and Kelly very politely RSVP’d. Unfortunately for the happy couple, the wedding falls on a pretty important weekend in the professional football world — NFL draft weekend — so Kelly can’t attend.

Let this be a lesson for other fans or couples thinking about inviting a favorite team member or coach to their wedding: Plan the nuptials early in the summer.
