Yankees' Oswaldo Cabrera Ties the Knot in Style Despite Sporting a Walking Boot - lulu

   

The Yankees’ Oswaldo Cabrera did not let an injury get in the way of love. 

The Venezuelan utilityman married to fiancée Ari Gonzalez on Tuesday, according to photos posted to their Instagram stories. 

The 26-year-old had to wear a cumbersome accessory during the nuptials, however, as he’s in a walking boot after a gruesome left ankle injury suffered on May 12 in Seattle ended his season prematurely.

In the top of the ninth inning at T-Mobile Park, Cabrera ran home to score on a sacrifice fly, but stumbled, leading to the horrific injury.

It was later revealed that Cabrera fractured his ankle, and he underwent surgery on May 18.

It seems the time away from the field helped Cabrera and Gonzalez put their relationship on the fast track; the pair announced their engagement on March 13.

In what looked to be an intimate setting, the Yankee wore a tan jacket over a white shirt and pants with a white loafer on his right foot, opting to accessorize with his boot over a tie or pocket square.

Gonzalez donned a thigh-length white dress with forearm-length sleeves for the occasion.

 
They’ll have plenty of time for the honeymoon, as Cabrera is not expected to return to the team this season due to his injury.
