"Religion was obviously the most important part of our marriage" - When Bryce Harper's wife Kayla disclosed why they had intimate wedding ceremony

Bryce Harper and his wife, Kayla, have been together for a long time. The two knew each other in high school, and that is where their relationship started, back in 2010.

The couple spent years together before Harper asked Kayla for her hand in marriage. After a rocky patch that held up their wedding, the couple got married in 2016.

A big reason Bryce and Kayla have clicked is their faith. They are both Mormons and married at a temple approved by the Church of Latter-day Saints, with only a small crowd attending, via US Weekly's Sarah Hearon.

"Religion was obvioulsy the most important part of our marriage. The temple marriage is very sacred," said Kayla.

Temple marriages are strict about who can attend: Only endowered Church members can attend, but that makes for a much more intimate wedding.

"Our religion is very private, and only certain people can attend the ceremony. So it was really nice to just enjoy that with our immediate family," said Kayla.

Kayla was happy with how the wedding went, and the couple is still going strong today. The couple just welcomed their third child, Kamryn Ray into the world this past April.

Throughout the years, Philadelphia Phillies superstar Bryce Harper has been known to take some time off social media. The baseball season is a long and grueling one and sometimes athletes need to lock in and take a break from social media.

His last post came a few days after the All-Star break, and it showed his adventure throughout the weekend. It was his eighth appearance, so he certainly knew how to make the most of it.

"1. 2. 3. Break." said Harper.

However, he has recently returned to Instagram this month with Kayla's birthday approaching. He made a short and sweet post, wishing his wife a happy 32nd birthday.

"Happy 32 day Queen" said Harper.

Now with the offseason in full swing, we could see Harper's full return to social media. His club could use his help this winter by bringing in a big-time free agent.

Other teams have already turned to their stars to help sway free agents' minds. Look no further than the Boston Red Sox who had Rafael Devers call Juan Soto. The two reportedly chatted for an hour.
