Chance The Rapper and Kirsten Corley share a laugh while attending a preseason NBA basketball game on Oct. 8, 2017, in Chicago.

From doing "My Own Thing" to married life. Chance The Rapper wed Kirsten Corley on Saturday, per photos shared on social media and multiple media reports.

E! News and Us Weekly report the vows were exchanged in Newport Beach, California.

The musician donned a white tuxedo jacket with a black bow-tie that coordinated with his black pants, as seen in photos shared to his Instagram Monday. The bride wore a strapless ballgown with structured bodice. Her hair was swept back with loose locks framing her face.

"The Bennetts," the artist captioned a series of photos from the big day. 

In photos of what appeared to be the ceremony posted to entertainment news site The Shade Room, Kim Kardashian and Kanye West can be seen smiling next to Dave Chappelle at the festivities.

Chance confirmed Wednesday he was tying the knot over the weekend in a Twitter thread about how he met Corley. He said the two met in 2003 when he was 9 at his mom's office party. 

"We were instructed to make way for an exclusive performance by DESTINY's CHILD!!" Chance wrote. Though Destiny's Child the three girls were not, one caught Chance's eye. 

"Now I'm locking eyes with the prettiest girl I ever seen in my almost-a-decade of life on earth," Chance recalled

Though he was nudged by his dad to show off his dance movies, Chance declined reasoning: "It's cause I knew I was gonna marry that girl. And I aint wanna jump the gun.

"So I shook my head with anxiety, moved to the back of the crowd and never even introduced myself," he continued. "16 years later it's happening This (weekend) is the time, and the place is my wedding. I'm gonna dance with my wife because this is my destiny."

According to the Chicago Tribune, a marriage certificate shows the newlyweds were married in a civil ceremony in Chicago on Dec. 27, 2018. 

Chance and Corley got engaged on July 4, 2018. 

Chance's brother, hip hop artist Taylor Bennett, announced the good news on Instagram. "Proposed In The Hunninds! @chancetherapper You A Real One!" Taylor captioned a photo with the couple. 

Chance didn't share any details in his tweet about his proposal, simply telling his Twitter followers: "She said yes." 

The pair are parents to 3-year-old Kensli Bennett, who was born in September 2015. They began dating in 2013, People magazine and Billboard report.
