Pittsburgh Steelers’ Ben Skowronek Ties the Knot in a Dreamy Cabo San Lucas Wedding
In a celebration that can only be described as a picturesque getaway, Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver Ben Skowronek has exchanged vows with his longtime girlfriend, Brianna Stroup, in an enchanting ceremony at Nobu Hotel Los Cabos, Mexico. The couple, who have been together for three years, decided to turn their nuptials into an unforgettable vacation for 130 family and friends. “It’s everything we envisioned — romantic, elegant, and filled with so much love,” Stroup gushed about the event.
Originally planning to wed in California, the couple shifted their plans to Cabo San Lucas after Skowronek’s signing with the Steelers. The location holds sentimental value as it was the site of their first vacation together following the Rams’ Super Bowl victory in 2022. Stroup noted that the city’s beauty and energy made it the ideal choice for their wedding day.
The couple’s “modern” ceremony featured a minimalist design inspired by natural elements, echoing the coastal beauty surrounding them. Stroup made a stunning entrance in a Vera Wang gown, while Skowronek looked sharp in a custom suit, both enhancing the elegance of the event. Their choice of music, including a piano cover of Taylor Swift’s “You Are In Love,” set a romantic tone for the ceremony officiated by the groom’s cousin, adding layers of personal significance.
As expected from a couple keen on creating a memorable experience, the reception was no less spectacular. The newlyweds shared their first dance to Shania Twain’s “You’re Still the One,” under dreamy lanterns that evoked the ocean’s essence. Guests indulged in a culinary feast featuring short rib, lamb shank, and the couple’s favorite miso black cod from Nobu, ensuring that taste was as prioritized as aesthetics.
With a churro station and a four-tier wedding cake adorned with floral accents, the couple clearly aimed for a festive atmosphere, complemented by a lively DJ to keep the energy high. Stroup emphasized that their wedding was not just a ceremony, but a promise to support and grow together, embodying the essence of marriage as a lifelong partnership.
In a world where celebrity weddings often come with extravagant price tags and glitzy venues, Skowronek and Stroup’s celebration stood out for its personal touches and heartfelt significance, proving that love truly is the most important ingredient in any wedding.
