Okay I might Sound Crazy now but I have a theory. We all obviously know that Jess says they will get married This Summer. And Today is (by my calculation) the last saturday of Summer break, bc Next saturday AKB will be at the German House of Soccer and they also Play the Challenge Cup on the 26th so they will have to Go back to Training some time Next Week probably.

So, I thought maybe their Wedding could be Today and just out of interest (I promise i'm Not a stalker!!) I looked if Anne was online on Insta Today Which she wasn’t (last active yesterday). So it could actually be their Wedding Day🥹

(I know im probably just freaking out haha but mayyyyyybeeee)

Honestly, that would be so funny. Finding out about the MBE just in time to be like:

"Do you, Jessica Leigh Carter, Member of the Order of the British Empire, who has won three titles in 181 days, take AKB-"

😂😂

Jess hasn't put anything about the MBE on her insta yet, so ... 👀

#Yes in my head the officiant (is that a word?) would call Ann AKB just to make it even shorter #This might be only funny to me #I'm the last person who would call you a stalker for this (obviously) but also I feel like looking at publicly available information is #completely fine - especially if you're not trying to actually DO something with that information #As in: you're not going to take a plane to the US to crash their wedding or anything haha #In my opinion this is all just harmless speculation #like no one is googling possible wedding venues and calling them or whatever (and if someone is they ARE a stalker and need help)

jess is adding accolades to be used in all her bios going forward "jess carter mbe, won 3 championships in 181 days".

Right??? She is insane

If i dont see gotham admin posting about "great block from jess carter mbe" im suing them 😂

I'll join this class action suit 😂

Gotham FC's coach Juan Carlos Amorós' insta story [June 13, 2026]

#jess carter #jess carter mbe #juan carlos amoros #I swear I'm tagging these things Jess Carter MBE to be able to find all posts about her MBE - not because I'm going to call her that now #even though that would be very funny and I totally should

We are going to see her (and probs Ann) all dressed up!! She will be invited to an investiture at either Windsor, Buckingham Palace or Holyrood, and her family/close friends will be invited (usually partner/parents from what I remember) and its a very strict dress code - formal wear, suit/fitted blazer/jacket or morning dress- I think hats are expected? I don't know if I remember too many women wearing suits tbh, but I'm sure there have been. I think theres no chance that Ann doesn't go to it - but I do suspect it might be an excused absence from a game because it does tend to happen a little after the announcement and I think you get an invite to specific ones?

(Also! Fun fact - royal invites to a married couple name the wife as Mrs John Smith, or whatever the husbads name is, which does open the question - what do you do when its a gay couple? Fascinated by British etiquette rules and how it does/doesn't include people)

Wow, that's awesome! If I had to guess, I'd say that she'll bring her dad and one of her sisters (like at the Euros), and hopefully Ann if they get the time off! That's the downside to being on the same team, right? Gotham would have to excuse 2 out of 11 usual starters. But I hope they do, if necessary!

I think everyone on here knows by now I'm a big fan of Jess in a dress, and I think Ann really pulls off a suit/tuxedo, so I'm looking forward to seeing them all dressed up!

That's so interesting! Imagine if Jess gets invited as Mrs Ann-Katrin Berger, which would be the most confusing way of finding out they are already married 😂. But that's a really good point, would they call a married woman by her wife's name? And would the rules be the same for a male/male couple and a female/female couple? (If anyone knows, please tell us! There are at least two people - anon and me - who want to know!) 😉

Oh dont worry I am also super salty about the way jess is treated by the lionesses. But also, look at their ig page - if it wasnt for the fact that a Black woman assisted a Black woman's goal last night, would there be any Black players on the front photo of their carousels? Or on show at all on their ig without watching a vid.

I noticed that as well! If their Black players are in a post, they are almost never in the first picture. Sure, if it is a line-up picture you might see one, but solo pics? No. Partly that is because there seem to be five or so players that are clear favorites and get shown A LOT (which I have opinions about at well, considering it's a teamsport), but like ... once you see it, you can't unsee it.

This article (thank you anon!!!) has a short video as well where she reacts to it!

Kevin Sinfield has received a knighthood in the King's Birthday Honours while six of England's Euro 2025-winning squad have been made MBEs.

OH MY GOD

so so so proud of her

More than deserved🥹🥹

You guys! I haven't been online today at all (I'm babysitting a puppy 😍) so I literally only opened Tumblr ten minutes ago and saw I had SEVEN new asks and I knew something big had happened 😂

JESS CARTER MBE!!!!

HAHA YES! And what a week she's had. Score a goal, become a MBE. No biggie 😎

LOVE THAT. Relevant bit:

English translation: Several of the award recipients are among the "Lionesses" who won the European Women's Football Championship with England in the summer of 2025. Among them is striker Chloe Kelly, who scored the decisive penalty in the European Championship final. She has now been awarded the Order of the British Empire. Goalkeeper Hannah Hampton and defender Jess Carter, who is engaged to German national goalkeeper Ann-Katrin Berger, were also honored.

You know what, I'll take it! Jess won the NWSL championship after the Euros, cementing her as a brick wall of a defender even more, and I feel like if she'd gotten it right after the Euros, some people (racists) would say she got it because of the racism she faced. Which would have been bullshit back then, but really can't be claimed now!

ARE WE GOING TO SEE JESS (and maybe AKB, I don't know how these things work) ALL DRESSED UP AT THE PALACE? With a fancy little hat? 😍😅 And yes, racists die mad about it now and forever ❤️

Oh my God, I hope Gotham's admin refers to her as Jess Carter MBE every chance they get 😅😂 IT SOUND SO GOOD!

#Jess Carter #Jess Carter MBE #GUYS!!!!! WHAT! A! WEEK! FOR! JESSICA! LEIGH! CARTER!

What kind of pitch inspection is this? 😅

I particularly enjoyed the bit about how if you were to look at her stats and inpirtance to the team you'd guess shes all football all the time and how thats not actually the case, considering it was nearly immediately after the ask where you were like she doesn't even care about the games she played in after the whistle blows 😂 (which is absolutely true and incredibly healthy of her and I'm also pretty sure that if you asked her today what team they played against on Tuesday it would take her a second to remember 😂)

Haha, yes! I genuinly think that having that kind of outlook on things, where football is something you really love but where it isn't your life, is what keeps players from burning out.
