On Saturday, former Cowboys running back DeMarco Murray got married at the Four Seasons in Dallas. And one Barstool Sports reader—a guy identified only as "Drake"—was there to witness it.
Now, "Drake" wasn't invited to the wedding. He was actually invited to his buddy's wedding, which was being held down the hall. But after thinking about it for awhile—and working up quite a bit of "liquid courage"—the diehard Cowboys fan decided to walk down and crash Murray's party with his girlfriend. He wrote all about it in a letter that he put together for Barstool detailing his experience and, while we won't jack the whole thing from them, we will share this excerpt about what happened when Murray realized that "Drake" wasn't on the guest list:
We got there right as everyone was eating, so besides the people at the bar, everyone was sitting down at their respected tables. My girlfriend and I were just sitting in the back on these couches, not 5 yards from the Bride and Grooms table. After a while, either Demarco or his wife realized we didn’t belong so Demarco B-lined right for us. He straight up asked us “How do ya’ll know me and my wife?” We both actually went to OU and obviously followed his career there, so I just told him we were long time fans starting back in his OU days and as a Cowboys fan I was sad to see him go. He starts cracking up, turns to the crowd (for some reason the band wasn’t even playing then, so it was relatively quiet) and just yells “Hey everybody I got real life wedding crashers at my wedding! Can you believe it, at my wedding!” He keeps laughing, tells us were cool, and just goes and sits back down.
"Drake" left a short time after he interacted with Murray. But before he did, he snapped this photo of Murray and his daughter:
And this photo of Eagles quarterback Sam Bradford:
And this photo of Tony Romo (double-fisting, bro?!):
The lesson to be learned here: If you get the chance to crash an NFL player's wedding, TAKE IT. Oh, and make sure you bring your girlfriend with you when you do it, otherwise you'll probably get kicked out before you even get your phone out of your pocket to take a picture.
