Chicago Fire actor Jake Lockett, known for his role as Sam Carver, has officially said “I do” in a picture-perfect elopement ceremony in Hawaii. Lockett and his now-wife, actress Dominique Domingo, chose to tie the knot in an intimate and deeply meaningful celebration on June 18 — and the details are nothing short of romantic.
The couple exchanged vows in a secluded cove near Kalihiwai Falls on the island of Kauai, surrounded by lush greenery and vibrant tropical blooms. According to Domingo, the couple let nature set the tone. “There was no need for added décor because Mother Nature handled it all,” she told People. “We wanted the vibe to be serene, intimate, and peaceful, and that’s exactly what it was.”
The location held symbolic weight for Lockett, who recalled writing a love song near a waterfall in Yellowstone three months before meeting Dominique. “The song was asking her to stay true and be patient for me,” Lockett shared. “So, being able to get married by a waterfall was a full circle moment for me.”
In front of just a few witnesses — their parents, a photographer, and a videographer — the couple kept the event simple and intentional. The decision to keep the guest list small was rooted in their desire to focus solely on each other. “Anything bigger than our immediate family wouldn’t allow us to focus on each other as much on our day,” Jake explained.
The ceremony blended spiritual and symbolic elements of earth and water. In one heartfelt ritual, the couple held a bowl of ocean water as their families placed a hand on their shoulders, sending love and protection into the water. The officiant then used a Hawaiian ti leaf to bless the space. Another moving moment came when Jake and Dominique each brought sand from meaningful beaches — one from where Jake proposed in Mexico, and one from Kauai — and poured it into a shared vessel during the ceremony, signifying their union.
Jake wore a custom Irish linen suit by KERCHER, featuring Hawaiian floral lining and the couple’s wedding date embroidered beneath the collar. Dominique stunned in a Maggie Sottero gown described as “sexy yet sophisticated,” complete with a flowing train and matching veil — the picture of bridal elegance against the tropical backdrop.
The couple first met at a commercial audition and quickly built a connection that led to their engagement in January on a Mexican beach. Their wedding was not only a celebration of love, but also a testament to fate, patience, and shared intention.
As Jake returns to Chicago Fire season 13, fans can’t help but smile knowing the actor has found such joy offscreen. With Sam Carver facing new challenges at Firehouse 51, it seems Lockett’s personal life is enjoying a well-earned calm after the storm — a love story worthy of prime time itself.
