Rapinoe herself took this in a very fun way. She took the couple’s sign and autographed it. She wrote, “I am not qualified, but Congrats,” finishing it off with her signature.

The couple took to Twitter and posted the signed sheet. They believe the sheet signed by her is deserving of becoming their signed marriage license.

Megan Rapinoe and Sue Bird, a match made in heaven

In 2020, Megan Rapinoe got engaged to her long-time girlfriend, Sue Bird. The two of them have been dating for the last 4 years.

Proposing to Sue Bird was a spontaneous decision on Megan Rapinoe’s part. But when it happened, it went perfectly. Rapinoe revealed she didn’t even have a special ring to propose to Bird.

“I actually took one of the rings off my fingers and gave it to Sue. And I didn’t know exactly when I was gonna do it but just, like, the perfect moment presented itself,” said Rapinoe.

Further, she revealed that she just was thinking about it, but when the moment presented itself, she went for it.

I just don’t actually have a plan so I had been thinking about it for a while, thinking about it really every day for a number of months,” added Rapinoe.

The couple first met during Rio Olympics 2016 and hit it off right away. They took to Instagram to announce their engagement with adorable photos.
