In a recent interview, when Rogers was asked about her tough choice between tennis and wedding, she dropped a surprising yet hilarious reply. In her response, Rogers said- “That’s a great question (laughter). I will say I quite enjoyed the planning of the wedding because I wasn’t one that was really super caring about the details. I wanted good food and good music, fun people there. That was really it. The rest I’m like the napkins are going in the trash, I don’t care what color they are (laughter). I’ll say the rehab was a little tougher.”
