You have to think of all of your friends and family, your significant other's friends and family, random people that your parents want to invite, and so on and so forth.

Zach Curley, who is a diehard Redskins fan, recently took things to another level and decided to send an invitation to his favorite NFL player — Robert Griffin III.

Curley heard back from the Redskins QB just five days after sending out the request (which might be a record for fastest RSVP ever to a wedding).

Here's the good news/bad news:

Thanks @RGIII for the lightning quick response!You are a true superstar, I wish you nothing but the best!Made my day! pic.twitter.com/KxDnvXCvnI

Curley told The Washington Post that he was stunned by RG3's gesture:

"Shocked," Curley said, when I asked for his reaction. "Just that somebody as big as RGIII would take the time, right away, to write something back — I thought that was really cool. Obviously I'll be a Redskins fan all my life, but he will be my favorite player from now on, until the end of time."
