US midfielder Brenden Aaronson misses World Cup training for his wedding

American midfielder Brenden Aaronson had a good excuse to miss the U.S. World Cup team’s training session Friday.

He was getting married.

The Leeds midfielder is marrying longtime girlfriend Milana D’Ambra, a daughter of Saint Joseph’s men’s soccer coach Don D’Ambra.

Aaronson left camp after Thursday’s session and was due back in time for training Saturday.

A 25-year-old with Leeds in the Premier League, Aaronson is part of a well-known U.S. soccer family from Medford, New Jersey.

His brother Paxten is with Major League Soccer’s Colorado Rapids and sister Jaden played for Villanova as a freshman last fall.

Their father, Rusty, is sporting director of Real Futbol Academy in Medford.
