A man, whom many users believe is the bride’s brother, was asked to make a demand from the groom and his request was unexpectedly connected to football.

The goon was hesitant, staring into his friends’ eyes, and they told him he had no choice but to denounce the club, the love for his wife over love for the football club.

Some fans in the comments section found it hilarious, while others claimed they would never do it if asked.
