Catie & Jake

CHARMING UNIVERSITY CLUB OF CHICAGO WEDDING

Catie & Jake’s University Club of Chicago wedding day was full of sweet moments and the return of Mike Ditka’s Bears.

Kicking off the Barbie movie vibes, Catie and her bridesmaids rocked matching hot pink PJs, totally nailing the theme. And let’s not forget her niece, who was ready to bust out some epic dance moves.

Meanwhile, Jake was chilling on the 12th floor balcony, overlooking Millennium Park, waiting for his bride. Catie showed up looking drop-dead gorgeous in her mom’s vintage veil—seriously, all the feels.

They hit up the Art Institute Garden across the street for some Insta-worthy pics before heading to Loyola for the big “I do.” The Madonna Della Strada chapel there is straight-up stunning, and their friend (and Loyola alum) officiated, making it super special and sentimental.

After snapping some more pics around the lakefront, it was time to party at the University Club of Chicago wedding reception.

A bagpiper led the way as Catie and Jake made their grand entrance before cutting the cake.

And shoutout to Jake’s bachelor party crew—they went viral for their tribute to Mike Ditka with those iconic Bears shirts. The Bears theme made a comeback for an encore pic, because why not?
