CHICAGO -- Fans of the World Series Champion Chicago White Sox can express their love for each other - and the White Sox - with a once-in-a-lifetime pregame group wedding at U.S. Cellular Field. Couples can say, or renew, their "I Do's" at U.S. Cellular Field before the White Sox host the Texas Rangers on Saturday, June 3 at 6:05 p.m. The ceremony will begin at 4:00 p.m.
The White Sox created "Wedding Experiences" in 2005 to give couples a chance to create their dream day in the ballpark and wed on the field or the concourse. These experiences complement the Sox Experience program, which also includes the chance to change a base during a game, watch batting practice from the field or watch a game from the broadcast booths. Three couples were wed during private ceremonies at U.S. Cellular Field in 2005.
"Couples are constantly seeking to create a truly unique wedding experience, which is why the White Sox created the Wedding Experiences last year," said Brooks Boyer, White Sox vice president of marketing. "The group wedding allows even more couples to celebrate their nuptials at the ballpark with their friends, family and each other in the grand setting of a Major League ballpark. Then, they can enjoy the game - and White Sox Baseball - together."
The cost to participate in the group wedding is $500 per couple and includes two premium lower deck tickets to that night's game. The ceremony will take place on the center field concourse. Couples must apply for their marriage license before June 3, 2006 by contacting Cook County Clerk Vital Records at (312) 603-7790 or cookctyclerk.com.
To make a reservation for the June 3 group wedding, or for information on Sox Experiences, guests should contact Martha Black at the White Sox at (312) 674-5396 or soxexperience@chisox.com. Reservations must be made by April 15. Couples may purchase additional lower deck game tickets for their friends and family.
