“We’re just two people who enjoy hockey and burgers.”
Newlyweds Erica Skuta and Lewis Blake live in New Zealand, but they're still huge fans of Skuta's hometown hockey team, Minnesota Wild.
"We definitely miss going to the games and we always say that if we move back to Minnesota we will be season ticket holders," Skuta told BuzzFeed Life, adding that they stream Wild games in New Zealand.

Such big fans, in fact, that they went to Minnesota for their Nov. 29 wedding and caught a Wild game after their reception ended.
"When we got engaged, we both joked how neat it would be to do something a little different and have an after-reception party at a Wild game," Skuta said. "When the schedule was released at the start of the season and the game fell on the same day as the wedding, we had to go for it."

So Blake and Skuta, who clearly DGAF, sat in the stands of Xcel Energy Center, wedding dress and all.
Their bridal party and many family members also attended the game.
While watching the Wild take on the Dallas Stars, Skuta devoured a burger — because who actually has time to eat at their own wedding?
Plus, stains and spillage don't matter once the reception's over, which is good, because she barely even takes her eyes off the game.
Skuta told BuzzFeed Life that they wanted to get on the Jumbotron — Blake had made a sign that said, "I flew 8,044 miles from New Zealand to be at this game (and to get married)," in hopes that they'd get a moment in the spotlight.
"After the sign was shown at the game we thought we were in the clear and I was excited to finally get a chance to eat some food... little did we know everyone at home was watching us," she said.
