Chance the Rapper married his childhood sweetheart, Kirsten Corley, this weekend — and shared a sweet story of how they met when he was just 9 years old.
The Grammy winner, 25, and Corley, tied the knot at the Cook County Clerk's Office in December, The Chicago Tribune reported, but celebrated their nuptials at the Pelican Hill resort in Newport Beach, Calif., on Saturday.
Guests included fellow Chicago native Kanye West, Kim Kardashian and comedian Dave Chappelle.

A spy told E! News, "After the ceremony, Kim and Kanye hung out with Dave Chappelle on the lawn. They were all laughing together and having a great time. They posed for photos and Chance came over to chat. They congratulated him and gave him hugs. Kim and Kanye were offered some champagne. Kim passed but Kanye took a glass. Then they walked inside together for the reception. It looked like they were very happy to be there and to see their friend get married. They both never stopped smiling."

“Now I’m locking eyes with the prettiest girl I ever seen in my almost-decade of life on earth … I really shouldn’t even say locked eyes cause really, I was just staring at her; as she and her girls were conquering this choreography," he tweeted along with a sweet photo of Corley from the day they met.
Chance wrote that his parents pushed him to also start dancing, but he declined.

“So I shook my head with anxiety, moved to the back of the crowd and never even introduced myself. 16 years later it’s happening this [weekend] is the time, and the place is my wedding," he concluded. "I’m gonna dance with my wife because this is my destiny.”
