Chief O'Neill’s Pub on a beautiful Saturday afternoon.


I had never been to Chief ONeills’s Pub before and was happy to see that when I walked in it felt like an authentic Irish pub but there was also an attractive outside garden which turned out to be a great setting for the wedding of Angie and Tom.

Apparently Francis O'Neill, who was born in Cork Ireland was the chief of police in Chicago for 32 years and was responsible for 3,300 officers (2,000 of them were Irish). The pub was named after the Chief and is know for its good food, proper pints and airs, reels and other grand Irish music.

Tom and Angie’s ceremony was brief just as they wished and at the end I introduced them as husband and wife and also introduced the new family as Delany, Angie’s daughter, joined them to walk out together. It’s always an honor and great fun for me to be a part of weddings, this one was no exception.
