Kylie and Jason Kelce are so darn cute. They met via Tinder back in late 2014 and got married in April 2018. They’ve told the story of their first date several times now. Kylie met Jason at a bar where the Eagles were having a team holiday party. Jason had already been drinking when she got there and ended up getting so drunk during the date itself that he fell asleep and had to be carried out of the bar by his teammate Beau Allen. Still, Kylie gave him a second date, and the rest is history. During his retirement speech earlier this week, Jason gave Kylie a huge, loving, and emotional shout out. In return, Kylie did an interview with People where she chatted about their wedding and her favorite memories from that day. Cue the “awws.”
When it comes to her favorite wedding memory, Kylie Kelce can’t choose just one!
When asked about her nuptials to husband Jason Kelce, the mom of three, 31, revealed she has a few favorite moments from their special day. The first being when she felt “terrified” before stepping out in front of everyone at the ceremony. But upon seeing her NFL star husband, 36, Kylie says her fear melted away.
“I know personally my favorite wedding memory is when I was getting ready to walk down the aisle,” she recalls to PEOPLE about their 2018 nuptials. “I was terrified not because I was about to get married but because everyone was going to be staring at me.”
Kylie says she “had worked up this sort of anticipation,” but seeing the football player waiting for her at the altar changed everything.
“As soon as our wedding planner opened the door and I could see Jason, it was as if all of the worries melted away,” she says. “So I was like, ‘Oh I just have to get to him. I can do that.’ “
“So that was like a memory where I really remember that overall feeling of ease and bliss,” she adds.
Kylie’s second favorite memory? Sitting at their sweetheart table — a small table designated exclusively for the newlyweds — at the reception. She tells PEOPLE sitting at the table with Jason was a “really special time.”
“It’s really the only time where you get to sit down and sort of catch up with each other because you’re running in opposite directions most of the day,” she explains. “Which seems counterintuitive on your wedding day, but you do get sort of split up.”
“So we loved sitting down and having dinner just the two of us,” she adds.”
Oh, I totally get what she means about being terrified that everyone was looking at her, though. That was something I was really nervous about on my wedding day, too. But like Kylie, all those nerves floated away the minute I started walking down the aisle, and I too felt the nerves melt away. The sweetheart table thing is also nice because it does give you a moment of one-on-one connection during an otherwise insane day.
Like I said, Kylie and Jason are so freaking adorable together. You can tell that they’re both genuinely crazy about each other, too. After hearing so much about that disastrous first date, it’s a nice change of pace to hear about one of the best moments in their relationship. I’m a person who absolutely loves going to weddings, and I bet theirs was a really fun one. I’d love it if they’d share some crazy reception stories next.
