Joel Hauck and Leigh Kirschner, also alumni, celebrated the season opener by getting hitched, kind of, in the Victory Lot outside of the stadium. The couple’s official wedding is Saturday in Minneapolis, but their friends had the idea to marry the couple during the pregame tailgating party and Goldy showed up in a gold tux for the playful ceremony.

The Hauck-Krischner wedding was the pregame highlight of the night, though. After Goldy tried to steal the bride, he helped officiate the wedding in front of about 40-plus friends, family and strangers that gathered in the parking lot.

“It was the best day ever,” Kirschner said. “We just felt like it was the perfect kickoff to our wedding weekend. We love the Gophers and are season-ticket holders.”

Hauck said "When Goldy was here, [our friends] all came running, a crowd circled around us, and a wedding happen. It was awesome. ... We got married today. Gopher tailgate. … It was chaotic, but then it was amazing."
