Dave Spadaro proposed to Angela Parsons in the Eagles locker room.
Dave, has worked with the Eagles for more than two decades, and told Angela, a partner with recruitment firm Xelerate LLC, he needed a new promo photo taken. Two of her friends were in on the plot and ensured she got there for the big moment.
Dave and Angela dated for 10 months before getting engaged. And two years after that, on August 12, 2023, they staged their wedding in an equally fitting place — on the 50-yard line at the Lincoln Financial Field.

Angela sums it up: “Holy crap. No one gets this opportunity. It’s the first wedding men actually wanted to attend.”
Their 220 guests joined them on the field for the ceremony, officiated by Angela’s business partner, Emily Biscardi. Her best friend, Jen Wineburgh, did a reading. “They absolutely killed it. We were so touched,” says Angela.
The reception was held on the club level — and Dave was absolutely amazed by what the event team, lead by designer and flourist Liz Barrella, achieved.
There wasn’t a theme (other than the obvious), though Barrella describes it all as “modern, Philadelphia, elevated, chic, sophisticated and fun.” The colour scheme was predominantly white, black and green, with floral arrangements that bloomed with rare tropical plants, cymbidium orchids, phalaenopsis orchids, protea and anthurium.
There were cocktails — the Spadaro Wedding Spritz, with tequila blanco, Aperol, strawberry simple syrup and a champagne topper — and dancing (the couple’s first dance was to “Down,” by Jay Sean). And the bride’s second look was a perfect choice, complete with feather details à la the Birds.
