Tom Brady and Gisele Bundchen planned a quickie wedding, and according to the NFL quarterback he wouldn’t have it any other way!

The New England Patriots player tells GQ:

We planned [the wedding] in like 10 days, and it was perfect.

It was a small ceremony with only immediate family present, including 18-month-old son John.

Brady continues:

We went back to the house and I barbecued aged New York strips. We had champagne, a cake, some ice cream. It was a great night. I think you always have this idea that weddings need to be 200 people and you invite everybody, and I’m all for it if people want to do that, but I think there was really something special about just having our parents there.

The twosome had a follow up wedding at the model’s Costa Rican estate, where more extended family were in attendance.

As for married life, he’s loving it! It’s tough to find time to be together, but they make it work:

You know, we find time to spend together. But Gisele understands the job requirements. I get some time with her on my day off, Tuesday, and then Wednesday, Thursday, Friday nights. Probably after wins I’m more with her.

More motivation to win, perhaps? Haha. The couple is expecting their first child together in December.
