Jessy Schram is officially married!
TheChicago Medstar, 37, said “I do” to fiancé Sterling Taylor inside a 60,000 ft. architectural salvage store in her hometown of Chicago, Illinois on June 18.
“We were looking for a venue that felt unique and out of the ordinary," Schram exclusively tells PEOPLE. “One day we stumbled into an antique shop, that’s also a furniture salvage warehouse, and as we walked around we felt the fun and the energy that it brought. It was quirky and different and still romantic.”
Before the wedding, Schram told PEOPLE she couldn’t wait for the big day. “The ceremony, our vows and seeing each other and everyone there as we walk down the aisle. And of course, the most epic dance party!”
The newlyweds then treated guests to sweets from Stan’s Donuts and a late night snack of miniature Chicago-style hot dogs and deep dish pizzas.
The bespoke bar featured sunflower themed cocktails with aperol, blood orange Italian soda, prosecco, and an edible flower garnish along with their personal favorite, Ranch Water, a sparkling combo of soda water, Casamigos, and lime juice. Guests were also treated to a specialty Mezcal and Cigar bar. As an extra special touch, artisan ice cubes encased a portrait of their cat, Pirate.
The couple shared a private moment cutting their custom-designed gluten-free chocolate cake with chocolate mousse and vanilla buttercream from Bittersweet Pastry. The sweet treat featured a palette-painted floral design in soft blushes, greens, and blues.
For Schram and her husband, getting married is a dream come true. “It means taking that extra step as partners and co-pilots,” she says. “That extra commitment mentally, physically, cosmically to doing and creating life with someone. For us it’s a declaration, not only to ourselves, but with our community, that we choose each other.”
