The intimate yet sophisticated celebration took place at the historic Union League Club of Chicago, a venue renowned for its classic architecture and elegant ambiance.

Described by sources close to the couple as a “classic” winter wedding, the event embraced the season’s charm with tasteful décor, soft lighting, and a romantic atmosphere that perfectly complemented the snowy city backdrop. Professional photography by REEM Photography captured the couple’s radiant smiles and heartfelt moments throughout the day.

McNeely, 30, rose to fame during Season 3 of Love Is Blind, where she navigated the pods and ultimately married Jarrette Jones. Though that marriage ended in 2022, McNeely has since spoken openly about finding love again in a more traditional way.

She met Lewis through a dating app in 2023, and their connection quickly deepened. In December 2024, Lewis proposed to McNeely in a picturesque moment at The Rookery building in Chicago’s Loop, a proposal later featured in People magazine.

In recent interviews, McNeely has gushed about her partner, praising his kindness, humor, and unwavering support. The couple kept wedding planning details relatively private but shared glimpses via their official wedding website on The Knot, which highlighted their January 18 date and registry focused on cash funds for future adventures together.

Friends, family, and a select group of close acquaintances attended the ceremony, keeping the focus on the couple’s commitment rather than spectacle.

McNeely looked stunning in a classic bridal gown, while Lewis complemented her in sharp formalwear. The day culminated in heartfelt toasts, dancing, and celebrations of the love story that began outside the Love Is Blind pods.

This wedding represents a fresh start for McNeely, who has continued building her career as a podcast co-host and social media personality while staying connected to her Chicago roots. Fans have flooded social media with congratulations, celebrating the reality star’s happiness after her public journey through love and heartbreak.

As McNeely and Lewis begin their life as a married couple, they appear excited for the future, with plans to travel and create new memories together. Love, it seems, has found a beautiful second chance.
