The WNBA star and her husband, Daniel Smith, exchanged their vows in front of close family and friends at the Museum of Contemporary Art Chicago with a lavish wedding experience curated by Kesh Designs.

Skylar and met Daniel at the University of Notre Dame where he was a member of the football team. The two began dating in college and continued to grow in their relationship after Diggins entered the WNBA. The couple was engaged last summer during one of Daniel’s art exhibits.

The Smiths wedding party was a Fighting Irish affair attended by friends and Norte Dame teammates, including Skylar’s former high school and college basketball teammates and her former coach.

Prior to tying the knot, the basketball pro even changed her name on her jersey so you know it’s real.
