Dallas Cowboys Cheerleader Marissa Phillips Marries Braden Leschber in ‘Elegant’ Wedding in Tuscany: All the Details! (Exclusive)
Marissa Phillips, a beloved member of the iconic Dallas Cowboys Cheerleaders, has officially tied the knot with her longtime love, Braden Leschber, in a breathtaking wedding ceremony in Tuscany, Italy. The couple exchanged vows in front of close family and friends in an intimate celebration set against the rolling hills and romantic vineyards of the Italian countryside.
Held at a centuries-old villa near Florence, the ceremony blended classic European charm with Southern elegance — a reflection of both the bride and groom’s roots and tastes. The couple, who met in Texas and have been together for several years, described the occasion as “a dream come true.”
Marissa walked down the aisle in a custom-designed lace gown with a dramatic train, featuring delicate embroidery and a deep V neckline. Her look was completed with soft waves, a cathedral-length veil, and a radiant smile that matched the golden Tuscan sunset. Braden looked sharp in a tailored black tuxedo with a modern twist, choosing a dark velvet jacket that added texture and depth to his wedding-day style.
“The entire day was filled with love, laughter, and beauty beyond anything we could have imagined,” Marissa shared exclusively. “Tuscany has always been on our bucket list, and getting married here just felt magical.”
The outdoor ceremony was followed by a candlelit dinner under the stars, where long tables were adorned with fresh florals, flickering candles, and locally inspired fare. Guests dined on handmade pasta, truffle risotto, and grilled Tuscan meats, paired with regional wines.
The evening transitioned into a lively celebration with dancing, heartfelt speeches, and a romantic first dance for the couple, who swayed under strings of fairy lights while their favorite love song played.
Fellow Dallas Cowboys Cheerleaders sent their congratulations from afar, sharing supportive messages and well-wishes on social media. Some even attended in person, adding to the joyful energy of the day.
The newlyweds plan to honeymoon along the Amalfi Coast before returning home to Texas, where they’ll begin their new chapter together.
“It was the perfect blend of adventure, romance, and family,” Marissa said. “We couldn’t have asked for a more beautiful way to begin our forever.”
Congratulations to Marissa and Braden on their elegant Tuscan fairytale wedding!
