Werder‘s first team finally set off on their well-earned holidays on Sunday and for many players, the summer break will be a very romantic one. A total of seven Green-Whites players will be using the short four-week break to tie the knot with their other halves. Alongside Zlatko Junuzovic, Theodor Gebre Selassie, Assani Lukimya, Philipp Bargfrede and Luca Caldirola, loanees Richard Strebinger (SSV Jahn Regensburg) and Eljero Elia (Southampton FC) are also getting married in the summer.

Luca Caldirola is up first. The Italian is getting married to his fiancé Marija on Friday, 6th June in Milan. Shortly after that it's Theodor Gebre Selassie and Zlatko Junuzovic's turn to say "I do" to their future wives. First though, they both need to play a European Championship qualifier with their respective national teams, before they can switch their attention to weddings. "The team are meeting up on the 8th June as they prepare for the important match against Iceland. Then a few days later, on the 16th June, I will get married, something I'm really excited about. I'm getting married near Prague, in Liberec. After the ceremony, my future wife Leona and I are going to travel to Paris for two or three nights", told Gebre Selassie. Austrian Junuzovic is also very excited about his wedding to fiancée Katharina, despite all the stress surrounding it. "My summer is very eventful - first there's the qualification game against Russia, and then the wedding. But for such a unique event I am happy to do lots of travelling", said Junuzovic, who is also getting married on the 16th June.

After Caldirola, Gebre Selassie and Junuzovic, Assani Lukimya comes next. The Congolese, who has played up front in recent friendly and scored a bucket full of goals, is getting married to his girlfriend Asma on 20th June. Having married last year in a registry office, Phillip Bargfrede and Mrs Carola will enjoy the church ceremony on the 6th June.

Loanees Elijero and Richard Strebinger have also already tied the knot in the last week. Elia celebrated his wedding to fiancé Sanne on 1st June, whilst Strebinger married his wife Sarah at a farm in Steiermark. The couple are also expecting their first child in October.
WERDER.DE wishes each couple a happy marriage and all the best for the future.
