Willfry from the Minnesota Viking is married!
As his last name and day of the week play, he said “I will,” Frieth tied the knot with Isabella Terrien, whom he considered “freeze day.”
“Our goal was to throw the biggest party of our lives,” Terrien tells people exclusively. “Two priorities: No one should leave the dance floor and serve incredible food. There’s nothing worse than making your wedding hungry!”

Among the 250 guests were Indianapolis Colts players Blake Freeland, Quenton Nelson, Matt Goncalves, Danny Pinter and Braden Smith, Conor McGovern of the Buffalo Bills, Ryan Bates of the Chicago Bears and Minnesota Viking “Ryan Kelly.”
“The day flies, so we tried to immerse ourselves in every moment,” Terrien says. “When we see the faces of the people we love most, everything was having a great time celebrating with us. If we could, we relive the day over and over again.”
Therien and Fries’ “Love Language was always food,” so they prioritized choosing venues with “great” dishes. Pleasant Dale Chateau, who is responsible for the “exceptional” catering and the wedding cake for the five-tier strawberry shortcake, was particularly appealing as it has its own farm and sources a lot of ingredients locally. The European architecture of the venue felt like a “escape from the busy New York City metropolitan area” in the countryside.

“And more, my husband is the biggest fan of the Sopranos and when he found out that the Sopranos were filmed there, it definitely didn’t hurt!” adds Therien. “This venue brought a luxurious and timeless atmosphere with a big European wedding with a New Jersey twist.”
The couple decided not to hire a wedding planner, so they were “practical throughout the journey.” Their photographer, Courtney Shea Smith, helped bring their “easy, engaging, simple and simple” vision into life by serving as a design consultant.
Imagine “a organic and elegant atmosphere that feels both fresh and timeless,” the trio decided on a neutral colour palette “to create a classic and refined atmosphere.” The bride and groom’s favorite flower, white and green hydrangeas, appeared on the central stage to bring about a “sophisticated, soft, summery atmosphere.”

The amazing music was also a must-have for Therien and the NFL Guard. They hired band Hank Lane for the reception, and later surprised everyone who had the Mummers Band Woodland String Band with a special nod to the bride’s Polish heritage and the couple’s Eastern European roots. Heartandsoul4u was an afterparty DJ.
“Not a single guest left the dance floor, and the band didn’t get a single break. The energy was non-stop,” says Therien. “One of the owners even said he was the craziest crowd he’d ever seen.”
At the wedding, Friedri and Terrine exchanged handwritten vows, walking down the aisle from Star and Elvis Presley’s “Helping You Fall in Love” to the main theme, respectively.

“We are a beautiful symbol of the family that we come together, including a unified candle ceremony where both mothers lighted candles for us.”
The NFL star wore one tuxedo from Tailored Society, while his bride wore four different wedding dresses throughout the day.
“I wasn’t someone who fits in one style box, so the person wearing four gowns felt like the most authentic way to express all the different aspects of who I am,” explains Therien. “Each look is designed to capture something unique: boldness, sexy, charm, elegance, class and more.
“When I tried to imagine all of that in one dress, I realized that it wasn’t impossible. Instead, I leaned against the idea of multiple gowns that allowed me to feel something different at each moment of the day, which made me so happy.”

At the ceremony, Terrine wore a “timeless and elegant” Basquist dress and created the “fairytale bridal look” and “classic princess moments” that she always dreamed of. It was combined with a traditional cathedral veil trimmed with delicate lace along the edges.
For the entrance to her “Show Stopper” reception, Therien wore a gown covered in intricate beaded lace. The design was inspired by a photo of her precious baby, covered by her mother from head to toe with pearl beads.
Her long sleeved beaded lace evening dress was just as impressive as the fantastical v-neckline. It “mixes sexy tips and elegance and is perfect for dancing and celebrating late into the night.”

The first three dresses were custom designed by Veni Infantino. Therien’s fourth and final dress was Milla Nova’s “playful, modern” white sequin cocktail gown.
“Each gown was a carefully chosen expression of various aspects of my personality and the stories I wanted to tell on my wedding day,” says Therien. “From timeless traditions to bold charm, the dress helped me feel like I was every time, making the whole experience unforgettable.”
Fri and Terrien met through mutual friends at the university and joined over sushi in July 2020. Since their first date, the pair has been “inseparable.” Four years after the couple first connected, Fry proposed in Ocean City, New Jersey on June 1, 2024

For couples, marriage means “choosing each other every day through every season of their lives.”
“It is about building a true partnership rooted in trust, respect, laughter and love. Marriage means growing with us, supporting each other, and creating a home where life takes us.
She continues: “We consider marriage to be a teammate not only in good times, but especially in hard times.

Frye praises Therien’s kind heart most to those he admires, saying “an amazing way to make everyone feel like family.” Meanwhile, Therien worships the inspiring “work ethic and motivation” of the NFL Pro.
“We’re excited to build a big family and become parents,” says the couple who shares dog Ace and Archie. “We dream of a home filled with love, laughter and the best of chaos. Summers on the Jersey Shore, big holiday gatherings and family traditions we look forward to most.
