    Man marries football
    QUEBRADA, PUERTO RICO


    In what is sure to raise a few local eyebrows, a young man has officially wed a football in his home town of Quebrada in Puerto Rico’s north-west. Ricardo Morales-Silva, an avid supporter of Uruguayan side Danubio Futbol Club, did the unexpected when he tied the knot with an Umbro football he purchased as a teenager. The ten minute ceremony was celebrated with six friends who also support the club.

    “People used to tell me that if I love football so much, I should marry it!” said Silva, 23. So he did. It comes only two weeks after a man from neighbouring town Cayuco left his entire estate to a pet llama.

    Friends spoke of how a junior local coach "kicked the ball through the door" up toward a makeshift altar where Silva was waiting. Best friend Oscar Acevedo stated that it was “...very strange, but a ceremony that I will never forget.”

    Celebrants across the nation have taken financial advantage of a loophole in a recently introduced law, which states that residents may act as an officiator at weddings, but does not stipulate specific conditions regarding the couple’s make up.

    Both Silva and the celebrant are now subject to police investigation, given that long-standing Puerto Rican laws strictly prohibit anything but a heterosexual marriage.

    My nickname is as obvious as they come, though for those of you who remember, I didn't always start off as Aris. *snicker*

    Badass Devil was the name of my created wrestler on those wwf/wwe video games which i adopted for these forums, when i first joined Juventuz i didn't have any intention to stay very long, just piss people off and that was it, unfortunately for some that has lasted 6 years now rather than a few weeks. And i dropped the Devil half and added Vidal to honour Marcello's information which lead Juventus to signing him, and also cause he is one of my favourite players :heart:

    I was following the forums as a guest for 2 years, then i started with another nick, but i lost that account for technical reasons.
    Wheni returned, i opted for a nick that will remind my surname, first name (Chris),
    nationality (Greek male names end with -os, Kronos/Cronus was Zeus's father, God of Time)
    my intention to stay here for good and in a lesser degree my profession.
    (Cronios red in Greek, means "chronic", "Chronic" in English is mostly used in medicine and is reffered to persistence/long duration)
    I managed to fit all that in Cronios!

    So, an educated member can guess my Name, nationality and proffession.

    I used to have kenjamin, which originated from my counter strike gaming days. Not quite sure who came up with it, or why, though. But it stuck.
