Phillies Fever: Here Comes the Bride…and Our Second Superfan
Phillies cookies were prepared by Whipped Bakeshop for our second Superfan's wedding. (All photos supplied by J. Raab)
Thank you all for your Superfan submissions — keep ‘em coming!
What follows is the story of Superfan Jonas Raab, his thoughtful wife Alexa, and how the Phillies made their mark on the couple’s recent wedding.
I’ve been a Phillies fan pretty much since birth. So when I got married this month, my then-fiancée-now-wife Alexa (also a huge Phillies fan) and I felt it only appropriate that there be a Phillies presence at the wedding.
Since we were unable to assure our guests that we’d have a Philadelphia Phillie in attendance, we came up with another way…a tasty, delicious way: Philadelphia Phillies cookies made by the fine folks at Whipped Bakeshop.
And, as a special surprise to me, my bride had a Phillies groom’s cake made by Frog Commissary Catering.
What makes us Superfans? Well, we said our vows, and we were pronounced man and wife, but the Phillies touch was what really sealed the deal.
The groom's favorite shirt, and the special Phillies cake his bride special-ordered for him.
Congratulations, Jonas and Alexa! We now pronounce you Superfans.

Um, we also have seats from the Vet in our TV room, draped with rally towels.

He also probably would’ve proposed over the Jumbo-Tron at the Bank had it been the regular season…oh well, you can always renew your vows at Ashburn Alley!

No matter how much Alexa loves Jonas and how much they both love the Phillies, I think she woulda killed him for that, Jefette.
