Lauren Sterling grew up in Chicago and as a life long Bears fan. Little did she know she'd end up marrying the so-called "enemy".
"He's from Milwaukee, so there's a huge rivalry there," Sterling says over the years, they've sat civilly on opposite sides of the field but after being married for only 4 months, this is their first real test of loyalty.
"In any given year, his team hasn't done well, and mine has. So this year, both teams are good which is a problem," Sterling said.
So how can there be peace in the household this Sunday? She says she's hosting a split Bears/Packer party complete with favorites from both sides of the state-line.
"Im expecting a Lou Malnati's delivery today and he's going to serve brats to represent the Wisconsin side," Sterling adds that at the party, "Bears and Packers fans will have to sit separately and trash talking is encouraged."
"There has to be a little trash talking. That just adds to the experience," Sterling said that in the end she's more competitive about her team than her husband so she plans to stack the deck a little and invite more Chicago fans.
