MLB player Tobias Myers‘ wedding was a home run!
The Milwaukee Brewers pitcher tied the knot with his girlfriend of five years, Leah Angelillo, in “a true modern fairy tale” wedding ceremony with just over 100 guests on Saturday, Dec. 14, at The Boca Raton hotel in Boca Raton, Florida.
“Tobias and I always envisioned having an intimate wedding weekend celebration with our closest family and friends,” the bride exclusively tells PEOPLE. “We knew the resort would accommodate our out-of-town guests to enjoy the area while visiting for our wedding.”

As a Florida-native, Angelillo remembers visiting The Boca Raton (formerly The Boca Resort) with her loved ones as a child. It quickly became her dream spot for saying “I do.”
“I always imagined myself getting married there one day, as the venue reminded me of a fairy tale, with its vintage-style castle aesthetic,” she recalls.
The “romantic and timeless” wedding ceremony with “classically chic details” took place inside the luxury resort’s main ballroom, “The Cathedral.” The grand room, which was filled with live musicians, has an ornate vaulted ceiling and columns with stone detailing lining the room.
Complementing the space was simple florals and décor with gold and white tones provided by Dalsimer Atlas Floral & Event Decorations.
“The wedding aesthetic tastefully combines timeless romanticism and modern, chic themes with white roses and candlelight,” Angelillo says.

The bride’s father walked her down the aisle to the tune of “Marry Me” by Train.
She wore a stunning satin wedding dress designed by Modeca and purchased from Amazing Brides Couture. The gown featured a sweetheart neckline with a detachable overlay for an off-the-shoulder sleeve style in the front and an asymmetrical bow in the back. Her makeup was done by Gabriella J. Artistry and hair styled by Jany M. Carrasco.
“The dress very much embodies my personal style, a clean and effortless look with hints of detail,” Angelillo says.
It wasn’t until the groom, who wore a tuxedo by Indochino, locked eyes with Angelillo as she made her way toward him that they saw each other that day, as they did not have a first look. Once she reached the altar, Angelillo exchanged traditional vows with Myers. They read handwritten vows to each other privately afterward.

The ceremony was officiated by Rev. Fr. Michael J. Calderin of St. Jude Ministries.
“Getting married means merging our lives, sharing responsibilities, supporting each other unconditionally through life’s challenges, and most importantly building a future together!” Angelillo says.
There was a room flip for cocktail hour, but everyone returned to the ballroom for reception.
Angelillo changed into a “classic and timeless” second bridal look. She turned heads wearing a shorter Chantilly lace wedding gown with long sleeves and a high-neckline.
Myers and Angelillo had their first dance to Calum Scott’s “Biblical.” Later in the night, everyone danced to the sounds of Good Musicians, a fusion band.

“We are looking forward to having the people we care most about in this world gathered together to celebrate our love,” the couple told PEOPLE of what they were most excited about ahead of their big day, which was planned by Monika Swain of Boca Event Planning.
Guests enjoyed a four-course plated meal. First, they had a Mediterranean-style salad with cucumber, olives and feta cheese. That was followed by an intermezzo passion fruit sorbet. Next, a duet-plated dinner with filet, seabass and vegetables, and a truffle potato puree was served.

For dessert, everyone was offered slices of the four-tiered wedding cake, which was made in-house by a renowned bakery team. Inside each tier was white cake with a white chocolate mousse filling and fresh strawberries. On the outside was vintage-style piped buttercream that was topped with cherries. Also on the menu was a vanilla-maple crème tiramisu with amaretto, lady fingers and chocolate curls.
As a surprise for the guests, late-night bites of cheeseburgers and fries were available at the end of the evening.
The night before the wedding, a romantic rehearsal dinner for the couple’s immediate families and wedding party was held at Principessa Ristorante, an onsite Italian restaurant overlooking the waterway.

“It was love at first sight” for the newlyweds, who met at a local bar in South Florida during the 2019 offseason. Four years later on Nov. 12, 2023, Myers got down on one knee and proposed to Angelillo. The romantic beach proposal at sunset was witnessed by the couple’s closest friends and family, and included a candlelight set up leading up to a heart-shaped sculpture made entirely out of red roses.
The couple plan to travel around Europe together during offseason next year, with Italy and Greece first on the list. Angelillo will continue working part-time as a nurse while Myers lives out his dream as a starting pitcher for the Milwaukee Brewers.
“We are most excited to continue growing our love for each other and starting a family together one day!” Angelillo tells PEOPLE. “We love how much fun we have with each other! For us, there is never a dull moment when we are together, with endless fun activities and plans to look forward to!”
