The newly wedded couple had black and white flowers, designs, and décor added a classic and timeless touch to the modern and elegant nuptials.

In addition to all this, the shortstop won his first-ever Golden Glove as the season concluded. Therefore, baseball fans focusing more on Swanson’s free agency does not come as a surprise.
