Newlyweds still wearing wedding outfits cheer on Kentucky at Rupp Arena

We all know how devoted Kentucky basketball fans are to their beloved Wildcats. Head coach John Calipari often lovingly uses the phrase, "You people are crazy," to describe the Big Blue Nation.

During Saturday's game against South Carolina, we got fresh evidence.

Wait, is that really a bride in full attire at Rupp Arena? Oh, yes. Yes it most certainly is. And a groom too!

According to Michael Grant of the Louisville Courier-Journal, Earl Fields and Heather Burgett of Hazard, Kentucky, got married last night and were given two tickets to the game from Burgett's uncle.

From the Courier-Journal:

“I said I’m going to wear my wedding dress,” the 37-year said. “He said ‘go for it.’ He’s had these season tickets for years.”

The couple brought a sign that read: “Just married. Honeymooning with the Cats.” They even brought wedding favors (hot chocolate mix with marshmallows) for other fans in their section.

Big Blue Nation ... they don't call 'em crazy for nothing.
