Read Arsene Wenger's letter to two Arsenal fans who got married.
They asked for it and they got it! Shannon and James, two die-hard Arsenal fans who tied the knot two weeks ago wrote Arsene Wenger (well, the wife did) to wish them a happy wedding. And he agreed. Above is a copy of the letter he sent to the couple.
Dear Shannon&James,
On behalf of all the players and staff here at Arsenal, may I take this opportunity to send you our congratulations and very good wishes on the occasion of your wedding day. We are very grateful for your loyal support of the club James and trust that you have now found your “perfect match”! Enjoy this Special day, we wish you both good health and every happiness in your future life together.
Yours Sincerely,
Arsene Wenger
MANAGER.
