Celtic mad Jacqueline Greig and Stevie Petrie are to get married on March 17 wearing Celtic’s home and away colours!
The couple from Dundee will tie the knot at their local Registry Office with the guests adding to the occasion by turning the place green.
Petrie, who has a son called Larsson, told the Dundee Telegraph: “I’m a big Celtic fan, we both are, and regularly go to games.
“Because it’s St Patrick’s Day we thought it would be a fitting tribute. I’ve never heard of anyone getting married in football strips so we thought, why not?
“My brother is the best man — he’ll be in a Celtic strip too, and so will Larsson.”
The couple have known each other for more than 25 years but got back together in 2011 with talks quickly turning to getting married.
The wedding reception will of course be Celtic themed with the couple hoping that hoops boss Neil Lennon can make an appearance on their big day.
Bride to be Jacqui added: “Our friends thought we were joking when they first heard. We’re trying to let the club know that we’re going to do it.”
Stevie will wear the hoops while Jaquie will put on Celtic’s away kit of a gold top and green shorts.
Celtic birthday parties are commonplace but it’s believed that this will be the first ever wedding wearing the full Celtic kit.
For over twenty years supporters have been wearing Celtic kilts to weddings with the club also hosting a number of wedding receptions at Celtic Park.
