Who: Boston Red Sox centerfielder Johnny Damon and Michelle Mangan

When: December 30, 2004

Where: The couple pledged their love in the ballroom of the Ritz Carlton Grande Lakes Hotel in Orlando, Florida.

Pre-wedding Festivities: The luxury hotel's 584 guestrooms accommodated all attendees of the three day celebration of love preceeding the nuptials. A comedy show, a day of pampering for the women in the hotel's 40,000 sq. ft. spa and a round of golf at the 18-hole championship golf course for the men were among the scheduled activities.

The Ceremony: As 2004 drew to a close the resident heartthrob of the Boston Red Sox looked to the year to come as a new beginning, a feeling symbolized by Brooks & Dunn's "Brand New Man," the centerfielder's choice of processional music as he made his way to the altar to await the arrival of his bride, who entered the hotel's chandelier-lit ballroom to Lauryn Hill's "Can't Take My Eyes Off of You." One hundred and seventy-five guests, including AC/DC's frontman Brian Johnson and Red Sox first baseman Doug Mientkiewicz, bore witness as the groom placed a wedding band on his loved one's finger which would accompany an eight-carat, canary yellow engagement ring. At the conclusion of the thirty minute service, gently cascading artificial snow fell down upon the newly betrothed couple like a baptism as they took their first walk together up the aisle as husband and wife.

The Dress: Serving as flower girl and ring bearer, the groom's children from a previous union made their way to the altar ahead of the bride, who made a dramatic entrance in a strapless ivory Vera Wang gown with a chapel-length train sweeping behind her. A diaphanous veil accented with a lace rose design border completed the look.

Corresponding with the winter theme of the occasion, the groom donned a silver tie, which he paired with a classic black tuxedo.
