The surreal 48 hours between wedding and Soccer Aid
Maisie previously tells her story of the unique timing to various outlets. “It was the day after my wedding, so I was hungover. For Soccer Aid, you go to the training camp on Thursday, Friday and Saturday—and I had to leave on Saturday to go get married! We got married in Brighton and then the next day, at 10 o’clock in the morning, a car comes to take you to Old Trafford.”“It was just such a surreal 48 hours because I got married and then was finding myself on a bus sat next to Nani (the Portuguese footballer) and across from Roberto Carlos and then on the other side there was Lee Mack. I just thought, ‘How have I ended up here?'” she recalls.At the time, Maisie had confirmed the news on ITV1’s Soccer Aid for Unicef, saying: “I’ve watched this as a fan for years and it’s a genuinely an honour to finally be part of it. I’ve been more nervous for this than I was the wedding.”
