Bruins defenseman Charlie McAvoy married his college sweetheart Kiley McAvoy, formerly Kiley Sullivan, on Saturday, exchanging vows at Marsh Chapel on Boston University’s campus before celebrating with a reception at Boston Public Library. 

The couple announced their marriage on Instagram Sunday evening.

Charlie’s post featured a picture of the two with their arms locked coming out of Marsh Chapel at BU. The couple have been together since they were students at the university. 

“So blessed to share this entire weekend with our incredible family and friends,” McAvoy’s post read.

Kiley posted the same picture with the caption “The wedding day and the man of my wildest dreams.”

“Can’t believe Charlie McAvoy chose to get married at Marsh Chapel instead of Agganis Arena,” one X user jokingly wrote in a tweet, referencing McAvoy’s home rink as a hockey player at BU. 

The happy couple announced their engagement last July before vacationing in Italy. 

The guest list was a Bruins fan’s dream.

Bruins defensemen Matt Grzelcyk, Connor Clifton, and Derek Forbort, goaltender Jeremy Swayman, and forwards Brad Marchand and Charlie Coyle were all in attendance. Former Bruins players Taylor Hall, Tuukka Rask, and Tory Krug also attended the wedding. 

McAvoy, 25, is entering his seventh season with the Bruins after joining the team in 2017. Kiley’s father, Mike Sullivan, played for the Bruins from 1997-98, and coached the team for two seasons (2003-04, 2005-06).

“Yesterday was the best day of my life,” Charlie said in his Instagram post. “Mine forever.”
