As the sun set, Chelsea and Mike exchanged vows on the Lacuna Lofts Sky Deck. The Chicago skyline created a stunning and romantic backdrop. The golden-hour lighting added warmth to this emotional moment. One of the night’s highlights was Mike’s dad joining the band on stage and playing the saxophone. His surprise performance had everyone cheering.
