Dansby Swanson and Mallory Pugh on tying the knot before loved ones - “To get married in front of our family and friends is so special"

All-Star shortstop Dansby Swanson recently tied the knot with the love of his life Mallory Pugh on December 10. Pugh, a soccer prodigy, and Swanson exchanged vows in front of family and friends.

After getting married, the couple spoke to PEOPLE magazine and shared their thoughts on the occasion. They mentioned that the wedding was very special for them:

Pugh is a soccer player and will play a key role for the United States Women's National Team in the upcoming World Cup.

Dansby Swanson & Mallory Pugh’s dreamy wedding

The photographs uploaded to Instagram attest to how beautiful the wedding ceremony was. Swanson spent his entire career playing near Lake Oconee in Georgia, where the pair enjoyed a beautiful view of the lake.

The bride walked down the aisle in a handmade Anne Barge gown, and the couple exchanged rings made by Jason from Beverly Hills. Pugh gave Air Force Ones to each of her bridesmaids.

Swanson uploaded a picture a few days after the wedding where the couple were seen enjoying a day at the beach.

Swanson has signed a seven-year, $177 million contract with the Chicago Cubs. The last well-known shortstop is now off the market. He will immediately benefit the squad offensively and defensively.

Rumors were that the Cubs might spend some time pursuing one of the top shortstops available as free agents. Since Javy Baez left for free agency, things in Chicago have changed.

Swanson excelled in his previous season. After going, he was able to attend his first All-Star game. At the plate, he batted 277/.329/.447 with 25 home homers. He had career highs for hits, RBIs, and runs scored last year. With each passing season, he only gets better.

The Cubs want to improve next season. They signed pitcher Jameson Taillon and outfielder Cody Bellinger earlier in the offseason. Although the team has greatly improved, these changes don't seem likely to shift the needle all that much.
