Iyanna McNeely and Alexander Lewis wed in winter ceremony at Chicago's Union League Club

People reports Love Is Blind alum Iyanna McNeely married Alexander Lewis in a winter wedding in Chicago. The ceremony was held at the historic Union League Club on Saturday, Jan. 17, followed by a reception at Salon 61, a private event space, the next day.

The couple, who met on a dating app and became engaged on Dec. 14, 2024, had initially planned a destination wedding in Jamaica but ultimately chose to celebrate in Chicago. They aimed for a "classic, modern and overall elegant" vibe, split the celebrations into a smaller family day and a larger reception, exchanged handwritten vows during a private first look and traditional vows during the ceremony, and included a handfasting; Alex's grandfather officiated and wedding planner Shaun Rajah assisted with arrangements. Musical choices included a violinist playing "Turning Page" for the bride's entrance and K-Ci and JoJo's "All My Life" for the first dance, and the weekend featured plated dinners and a vintage heart-shaped cake from Bittersweet.

After the wedding, the couple planned a honeymoon in South Africa with a safari, hiking, wine tasting, massages and time in Cape Town. Alex said he looks forward to milestones such as buying a home and growing their family, and Iyanna said she is excited to experience the evolving depths of their relationship.
