James Edmonds is an American former professional baseball center fielder and a broadcaster for Bally Sports Midwest. From 1993 to 2010, he was a member of Major League Baseball’s California/Anaheim Angels, St. Louis Cardinals, San Diego Padres, Chicago Cubs, Milwaukee Brewers, and Cincinnati Reds.
Jim Edmonds and his fiancée Kortnie O’Connor speak about their wedding preparations for September 2022. Jim Edmonds and Kortnie O’Connor are in the midst of arranging their dream wedding.
More than a year after they first went public with their romance, Edmonds and O’Connor announced their engagement in August 2021.
Now, the couple tells exclusively that they’re planning to marry on September 25 in a “very tiny” wedding. The romantic event will take place in Villa D’Este in Lake Cuomo, Italy, with the theme “All Roads Lead to Amore.”
O’Connor says, “As I’m sure everyone knows, this isn’t Jim’s first time around. So we just wanted to make it about enjoying everybody — all of our close friends and family. An adventure for everybody to enjoy, not another wedding in the church.”
“Jim’s never been there. I thought it might be an experience for his kids, and just to celebrate our relationship and let everybody enjoy it as well. So that was the focus, as well as Lake Como is a really beautiful destination.”
Kortnie said, “We want them to enjoy our day, our special day, our relationship and then the area,” he says. “Like [Kortnie] said, I’ve never been there, and I thought it was pretty special that if we can get all there and comfortable and let them see stuff that they’ve never seen — I’ve never seen — I think that’s a big deal. My dad always instilled, ‘Hey, when you travel, pay attention and look around, and buy a shirt.’ When I worked, playing baseball, I never got a chance to really do too much of that.”
