If you ask us, Ellyse and Matt’s wedding day was the Cubs’ good luck charm. Just months before the World Series win these two threw an epic Chicago Cubs-themed wedding set at Iowa’s famous Field of Dreams. They officially made baseball weddings chic and captured that, “can’t eat, can’t sleep, reach for the stars, over the fence, world series kind of love.” Jenni O photographed, Oceanwide Studios filmed and you can head to The Vault for every last detail.

From the Jenni O Photography… Ellyse and Matt are two huge baseball fans! They were married in their tiny town of Dyersville, Iowa. If you don’t recognize that town check out the Kevin Costner film Field of Dreams I have never seen such a detailed wedding! From the getting ready outfits to the concession stand, the reception on the out field, the programs. All the amazing details pale in comparison to the love these two have for each other and their kids.
Ellyse wore her mother’s dress for the ceremony, then at the reception she changed and surprised Matt in his mother’s dress who passed away a few years ago. I don’t know if I’ve ever cried that hard during a wedding. It was one of the most beautiful moments I have ever had the honor to be a part of. The speeches all took place before the reception right out on the field. Ellyse’s siblings sung a song they wrote with Ellyse that went “Take me out to the wedding, take me out with the crowd. Ellyse found a guy that will cut her some slack. Matt you should know that there are no give backs. So it’s root, root, root for the Ungs cause they got married today. For its 1, 2, probably 3 kids they’ll have. A new team is on its way.”
GO CUBS! And Congrats, Matt and Ellyse!
