This couple really knows how to stick to a theme! I guess it's easy when you're both die-hard football fans (she's a Giants fan; he's a Red Skins supporter). Everything from the boutonnieres to the cake toppers and even the wedding sign announcing the bride's walk down the aisle were inspired by this couple's shared love of the game. But they even went a step further. Rather than exchanging traditional vows, the couple wrote their own:

From preseason through the play-offs and Super Bowl, in good health and injury, despite tackles and fumbles, whether the New York Giants win or lose, I promise to support and always love you in our game of marriage. And take you as my wife.

This couple's game-day-inspired wedding by Look Wedding Photography is a touchdown. Here's why:

The Bride wore New York Giants blue shoes.

Even her flowers fit with the Giants's team colors.
