Sam Kerr<\/a> has plenty to look forward to when she says “I do” today, but it seems there’s one wedding<\/a>-related phrase she’s keen to never hear again.<\/p>\n

Posting on Instagram Stories yesterday ahead of her New Year’s Eve wedding to fellow football star Kristie Mewis<\/a>, Kerr shared a photo of the couple in the gym.<\/p>\n

“Last day I ever have to hear about the wedding shred,” the Aussie sporting icon quipped.\ufeff<\/p>\n

The two athletes will exchange vows today in Perth, Kerr’s hometown, after announcing their engagement<\/a> in 2023.<\/p>\n

The big day comes seven months after Kerr and Mewis welcomed their first child<\/a>, son Jagger, in May.<\/p>\n

Mewis has shared her excitement in \ufeffan Instagram post, sharing a gallery of photos yesterday as preparations were underway.<\/p>\n

“Tomorrow,” she wrote.\ufeff<\/p>\n

The US soccer star recently shared some of the details of the event on her sister and fellow footballer Sam Mewis’ podcast The Women’s Game.<\/p>\n

\ufeffThe wedding will be held at a private home later today with 120 guests, likely to include many of Kerr’s Matildas teammates.<\/p>\n

“I know people have way bigger weddings than that, but that’s a lot for me to wrap my head around,” Mewis admitted during the December 20 episode. <\/p>\n

“Talking to 120 people in one night is a lot. The thing that worries me is that I won’t be able to give enough time to everybody, so that’s what I’m stressing about right now.”<\/p>\n

The ceremony “doesn’t start until later” because of the date it’s being held on.<\/p>\n

“We kind of shifted everything later because we want to celebrate New Year’s Eve with everybody,” Mewis said.<\/p>\n

“I’m a little bit nervous about the heat. It is going to be a very hot Australian summer.”<\/p>\n

While baby Jagger is too young to have a role in the ceremony, he’ll be walked down the aisle by Kerr.<\/p>\n

“That’s going to be gut-wrenching for me. I will sob when that happens,” Mewis admitted.<\/p>\n

Mewis said the couple won’t go on a honeymoon straight away due to their football commitments.<\/p>\n

“But we are talking about going to the men’s World Cup, which I know isn’t very, like, honeymoonish,” she added.<\/p>\n

Kerr also discussed the upcoming wedding earlier this month on the Mewis sisters’ joint podcast Mewis Squared<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\ufeffThe Matildas captain offered a diplomatic answer when asked if her fiance had been “a bridezilla”.<\/p>\n

“It comes from a good place, but I had to have a talk to her this morning and say that everyone is coming to celebrate us and you can’t make their experience perfect,” Kerr said.<\/p>\n

“We’re going to offer what we offer and if they don’t like it, then they’ll organise something else or do something else.<\/p>\n

“Like, we can’t spoon-feed them, they’ll all adults.”<\/p>\n

She added jokingly, “Our wedding is going to be amazing, but Kristie obviously cares so much about people’s experience that she’s sacrificing my experience.”<\/p>\n

Kerr said she couldn’t wait until she, Mewis and their guests were \ufeff”all blind drunk, partying [on] New Year’s Eve in our suits and just having a grand old time.”<\/p>\n

The couple’s relationship began in 2020; they met through global football tournaments while representing Australia and the US.<\/p>\n
