Getting your father-in-law's seal of approval is potentially the most nerve-wracking part of getting married for any groom. And it's even worse when you're a diehard Chelsea fan and your Father-in-law supports Arsenal... But Adam Tanous came up with a great way to get in his bride's father's good books... Using all his sports PR contacts, he managed to get Arsenal players Olivier Giroud, Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain, Per Mertesacker and Joel Campbell to film this amazing video:

With his father-in-law, Hughie, being a huge Arsenal man, Adam knew that a personalised video from his favourite players might be the only way Hughie wouldn't mind his daughter marrying a Chelsea fan. 

We hope he got some brownie points for that one.
