The Seattle Mariners aren’t just a team on the field.

They’re connected off the field, too, even to the point of being involved in weddings with one another.

A cool thing happened recently: Mariners second baseman Ryan Bliss got married.

His wedding was officiated by star shortstop J.P. Crawford.

Between injuries and inconsistency, Bliss has yet to spend a ton of time in the big leagues.

But he and Crawford have surely spent some time turning double plays together.

And now, they’ve shared a moment together they’ll never forget.

It’s the kind of thing that can only help team synergy for a group that is already one of the best in baseball. Surely, plenty of other Mariners were at the wedding, too.

They’ll head into the new campaign just a little bit closer, and every bit counts in trying to reach the World Series for the first time in Mariners history.
