Joanna Garcia is batting a thousand so far.

The Better With You star tied the knot with New York Yankees outfielder Nick Swisher Saturday at the Breakers Hotel and Resort in Palm Beach, Fla., in front of family and a fairly impressive list of famous friends, E! News has confirmed.

"On way to what's going to be an amazing week with my best friends celebrating two amazing people!!" Garcia pal Jamie-Lynn Sigler excitedly tweeted on Wednesday as a fun-filled long weekend got underway in honor of the happy couple.

"I'm here too!! Can't wait to celebrate this amazing couple with you!!xx," added Garcia's Better With You sister, Jennifer Finnigan.

The duo even shared an inside joke about spray tans. "Careful, I'm Pocahontas again," warned Sigler, to which Finnigan replied, "So am I....or at least I tried. But I think my Mystic tan machine was broken...I am a light caramel macchiato shade."

OK, so the bride's side was tan.

And it sounded like the lead-up to the nuptials was a party-and-a-half, with Finnigan writing late Thursday, "I've had 2 dinners, both amazing, as well as 6 cocktails. Detox starts Monday..."

Swisher's teammates in attendance included Alex Rodriguez, along with A-Rod's lady pal Cameron Diaz, who knows Garcia from the days when the duo dated Justin Timberlake and his William Rast partner Trace Ayala, respectively. Lance Bass and Garcia's former sitcom mom Reba McEntire also attended the nuptials.

Garcia wore an ivory, strapless Monique Lhullier gown, fulfilling Swisher's prophecy that his bride would "look like an angel" on their big day.

"I think for the first time in my life, I have a woman who I could not be more proud of," he told People in November. "We do such a great job really pushing the other one to do better and I think that's what you have to have. My old man told me a long time ago you need to marry your best friend, and I think that's exactly what I'm doing."

And Garcia is pretty lucky too, at least as far as Swisher's manly capabilities go.

"Just watched my man change a tire...not gonna lie...I'm impressed. This one surprises me around every corner :-)," she tweeted last week.

Talk about your home runs.
