“Sweetest wedding 😍 y’all are a beautiful couple,” Howard wrote.

“The most beautiful wedding!! ❤️❤️❤️,” Sundvold chimed in.

York, who played college football at Louisiana State University, was picked in the fourth round of the 2022 NFL Draft by the Cleveland Browns. He has been on the Bengals’ roster since 2024.

Per DCC’s website, Dale is in her second season as a cheerleader with the squad and shared that she wants to be “married to my best friend and have a family of my own” in 10 years’ time.

The newly married couple first shared a clip from their engagement in March, which took place at a photo shoot when York surprised Dale as she turned around and saw him down on one knee. Before that, the couple appeared to make their relationship Instagram official in June 2024, and notably posed for a kissing snap on the field as their two teams faced off in December.
