Kerri Yole and Rob Bryans didn’t want to do the “typical post-wedding brunch or sandwiches” after tying the knot on Aug. 13, so they invited their entire wedding to Sunday’s Blue Jays game.

A total of 104 guests will be joining the Toronto couple in the 500 deck of the Rogers Centre as the Jays take on the Houston Astros.

“Our strategy is to keep the party going until we have to be back in the office,” said the bride, 33, who is originally from Ancaster. “I personally like to be anti-tradition.”

After considering the “million different options” for a possible wedding location, the pair chose Toronto “because it felt the most right” and made a point that their wedding be “Toronto-centric.” (Their reception is happening at the Drake Hotel.)

Bryans, 35, the team sales lead of an American software company, said he travels extensively — and every other week for work — but that Toronto is his favourite city in the world. He’s originally from Burlington.

“The Drake is like a Toronto monument, the Jays in the Rogers Centre is a big part of the city as well and (we wanted to) show out-of-town friends a good time,” he said, adding that 75 per cent of his guests were from elsewhere, coming in from the GTA, Boston, Los Angeles, Vancouver, Calgary and Minneapolis.

As soon as they decided on the baseball game, they began planning the wedding around it. They’ve even had “Mr. and Mrs.” Jays jerseys made up just for the occasion.

“It’s great,” Bryans said of the Toronto fandom for our home team. “Last year” — as the club made a late charge to win the American League East — “it was like the Jays almost changed the city. It was so cool seeing people on game day flocking around in gear, even people in the financial district going to work in their jerseys . . .

“They’re an awesome part of the city; they’re doing well and keeping a lot of positive energy going. They’re the boys of summer.”

The (soon-to-be) Bryans were overwhelmed by the interest that their guests took in the after-party with the Jays (a contender again this year). Almost everyone at their 140-person wedding accepted their invitation and, after scooping up 100 seats, the couple even had to search on StubHub to make sure the wedding crew was all together.

The entire wedding favour cost the couple $2,600.

“It’s going to be really fun,” said Yole, a registered nurse. “I’m really excited. We’re going to try to ride (the wedding buzz) as long as we can.”

Not the usual wedding antics

Here’s how some couples also celebrated their big day.

Minneapolis-based couple Jill Peterson and Kevin Heinz’s wedding dance went viral six years ago and raised $50,000 for the Sheila Wellstone Foundation, which works to end domestic violence.

“Never stop dancing,” the couple promised each other. This video’s been viewed 93 million times.

This Texan bride channelled Beyoncé with her bridesmaids last year, and the results were filmed by Cole Dabney. With moves like that, her groom is pretty lucky he put a ring on it.

This groom and groomsmen surprised his bride with the most HILARIOUSLY choreographed dance I've ever seen at a wedding! Watch all the way through! I was crying laughing!

Is that your new husband, or a Backstreet Boy? This groom and his men incorporated sunglasses, chair dancing, hot-and-heavy choreography and the can-can as a surprise for his new wife. She alternates between laughter, embarrassment and shaking her head. Congratulations, he’s all yours!

This looks like your typical father/daughter dance combo until you reach about 1:30 in the tape. That is one cool dad. Her poor groom has big shoes to fill.

Mothers-in-law can dance, too. Apparently the bride had no idea this choreography was coming.
