Yankee Nick Swisher to wed this weekend

The Yankees have another reason to celebrate — this weekend’s wedding of outfielder Nick Swisher and actress Joanna Garcia. They’re set to tie the knot on Saturday at the plush Breakers Hotel & Resort in Palm Beach.

Many of Swisher’s teammates will be at the lavish affair, but sources say Derek Jeter — who just signed a $51 million, three-year deal — isn’t expected to be among them.

Guests at the nuptials will include Yankee pitcher CC Sabathia, Jamie-Lynn Sigler, former boybander Lance Bass (who’ll be one of Swisher’s groomsmen) and Cameron Diaz. But it’s unclear whether Diaz will attend with Alex Rodriguez, whom she’s been seeing on and off since the summer.

Diaz became a close friend of Garcia when the blond actress dated Justin Timberlake and Garcia dated and later got engaged to Timberlake’s best friend, Trace Ayala. Garcia and Ayala broke up in 2008.

Guests were made to sign confidentiality agreements before this weekend’s festivities, which include a welcome dinner on Friday, the wedding ceremony on Saturday and brunch on Sunday.

Swisher and Garcia, who appears in ABC’s “Better With You,” got engaged in May after dating a year. “She is my princess. I just could not be more happy,” Swisher told Page Six last month when he grew out his mustache to raise money for cancer research. His mother, Lillian, is battling leukemia.

“We take so much pride in being able to back each other up,” he said. “In the baseball world and in television, you have your ups and downs. It’s just so great to have your best friend with you throughout everything good and everything bad.” Of the nuptials, he said, “We could just not be more ecstatic about it. I can’t wait to see her on the day.”

The Breakers Web site says it offers “destination weddings for 500 people or an intimate beachside ceremony for 50 guests” in “one of the most beautiful places on earth.”

Reps for Garcia and Swisher did not respond to e-mails and calls.
