Matthew Perry once attended Anze Kopitar's 14-hour wedding surrounded by drunk Slovenians
Matthew Perry, renowned for his portrayal of Chandler Bing on "Friends," and Anze Kopitar, the Los Angeles Kings' top scorer, shared an unexpected but fascinating friendship. The bond paved the way for an extraordinary adventure, highlighting that celebrities often create surprising connections.
The late Perry, a self-proclaimed hockey enthusiast, attributed his love for the sport to his upbringing in Ottawa, Canada, and his fascination with the Montreal Canadiens.
Despite growing up in a city without an NHL team, Perry's attachment to hockey was unwavering. He later moved to Los Angeles to be closer to his father and became a devoted fan of the Los Angeles Kings.
In a candid interview, Perry shared his unforgettable experience of attending Anze Kopitar's wedding. Kopitar invited Perry to his wedding in Slovenia. What started as a jest – Kopitar offering Perry the chance to lift the Stanley Cup – turned into a heartfelt invitation to witness his special day.
"He asked me, right after they won the Stanley Cup, he said, "Do you want to lift the Stanley Cup over your head?"
"I was like, oh my God, that's yes yeah, please. And then as soon as he did that, he said, "Will you come to Slovenia for my wedding?" And then I felt like I had to say yes," Perry said
The wedding proved to be an adventure of epic proportions. Perry found himself amidst a lively celebration that lasted a staggering 14 hours. Surrounded by jubilant Slovenians, most of whom didn't speak English, Perry shared:
"I was in bed by nine o'clock."
While Matthew Perry's recent passing leaves a void in the entertainment world, his extraordinary friendship with Anze Kopitar stands as a testament to his passion for hockey and bond with Kopitar.
