Here’s what we know about Jose Bautista’s wedding
Jose Bautista tied the knot with his longtime girlfriend, Neisha Croyle, over the weekend. Their ceremony was at The Breakers, a lavish resort in West Palm Beach, Florida—and the guest list was predictably stacked with name-brand MLBers. Here’s what we know about what went down.
Bautista’s days as a Blue Jay have likely come to an end, but a good number of current and former Toronto players were there to witness his nuptials. In fact, Marcus Stroman was the one who let it slip, on Twitter, that Bautista was getting married:

The groom looked very dapper for his big day, sporting a burgundy tuxedo:

Former Jays slugger Edwin Encarnacion was also among the guests. Here he is, en route:
Watch closely here and you may notice a cameo by former Blue Jay Melky Cabrera. Watch until the very end and you’ll see an impromptu performance by ex-Jay Jose Reyes, who has his own reggaeton label:

Bautista and Croyle were adamant that guests forego wedding gifts, unless they came in the form of donations to Bautista’s charity, the Bautista Family Education Fund. The fund benefits student athletes throughout North America.
Correction
This post originally said, incorrectly, that the Bautista Family Education Fund benefits athletes in Canada and the Dominican Republic. In fact, it benefits athletes throughout North America.
