TAMPA — For once Caley Chelios wasn’t delivering the news. Rather, the Tampa Bay Lightning’s website and in-game reporter was the news as she married former Tampa Bay Buccaneers 2016 draft pick Dan Vitale over the weekend.
Chelios and Vitale graduated from Northwestern University and started dating in 2013. Six years later, they stood on the altar and said, “I do," inside the Saint James Chapel in Chicago. Some of their most famous guests included: Eddie Vedder and wife Jilly McCormick, Cindy Crawford and husband Rande Gerber, John Cusack and Kid Rock.
At one point during the reception, Vitale took the mic and rocked it out on stage to Weezer’s “Say It Ain’t So," according to a report from PEOPLE Magazine.
“I have been playing guitar for years, but never performed with a real band,” he explained to PEOPLE reporter Lindsay Kimble at the wedding.
Chelios, the daughter of Hockey Hall of Famer Chris Chelios, told PEOPLE her wedding “was the most magical day from beginning to end.”
“My favorite moment was getting to see Danny for the first time, standing at the bottom of the grand staircase at The Peninsula," she said. "I could not have dreamed of a more perfect moment.”
