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.

What?! No complimentary champagne?! :)

I can hear the exchange of vows now...

Justice of the Peace: Do you, John, take Mary to be your wife, to have and to hold, during winning streaks and losing streaks, do you promise to take out the garbage before you stretch out on the couch for a Sunday doubleheader on ESPN, will you forsake all other teams except the White Sox, do you promise to love her in good health as well as those times she's on the DL, will you keep her when the payroll is either fat with veterans or lean with rookies?

John: I do.

JP: And do you, Mary, take John as your wedded husband, will you polish his cleats after muddy softball games, will you learn to prepare hot dogs and nachos for dinner at least one night a week, will you cheer on the White Sox even though you grew up a Cubs fan, do you promise to learn to cuss and spit, and will you at least consider role playing in the bedroom once a year where you dress up in nothing but catcher's gear minus the cup?

Mary: I do, except the spittin' part.

:D
