Dallas Cowboys tight end Jake Ferguson and former Miami basketball player Haley Cavinder recently tied the knot at the Biltmore Hotel in Miami. To ensure a relaxed atmosphere for guests—especially Ferguson’s quarterback, Dak Prescott—the couple enforced a strict no-kids policy to prevent the evening from turning into an impromptu autograph session. Ferguson admitted he wanted his teammate to be able to let loose without younger relatives asking for photos.
When it came to wedding preparations, Cavinder took charge of the scheduling and logistics, admitting she wasn’t particularly focused on standard details like floral arrangements. Ferguson’s primary contributions involved selecting the entire menu during a lively food tasting and requesting a ranch dressing fountain due to his love for the condiment. For the ceremony, Cavinder wore a custom Galia Lahav lace princess gown, a designer favored by celebrities like Simone Biles and Paris Hilton. The newlyweds made their reception entrance to “Fergalicious” and shared their first dance to Brad Paisley’s “Then.”
Reflecting on the origin of their relationship, the couple jokingly debated who initiated contact on social media. Ferguson claims he messaged her after she liked his photos, while Cavinder remembers it differently. Regardless of who made the first move, their connection was instant after a first date in Florida led to them spending ten consecutive days together, making it immediately clear to Ferguson that he wanted to marry her.
