Wedding

This weekend we went to Chicago for the wedding of my friends Jami and Mike. Jami planned an extravagant wedding down to each perfectly monogrammed detail. I think it was good for us to see how a wedding can be done and decide how we want to do things.


This is Rusty and I before the rehearsal dinner, which of course was amazing!


Here is a picture from their ceremony. Yes, Mike is 6'8" and Jami is 5'4", which made it difficult to get a good picture with both of them.


This is Rusty and I at the dinner reception! It was in a lovely botanical garden called Crystal Gardens at Navy Pier. It was magnificent and the greenery really set a fantastic ambiance.



This was their first dance. It was sung by the most amazing opera singer who was blind. I do not think there was a dry eye in the place, including ours. It gave me chills up and down my spine. The phenomenal music continued all night with a 10 person band who sang every genre of music perfectly! We had so much fun dancing!


Here is a picture of the maid and matron of honor. Notice the lush greenery all around.

We are both exhausted from our trip, but it was so much fun. We got to eat some fantastic food at the wedding, but most of all in my old neighborhood! I forgot how much I miss Italian food! I feel so lucky that we get to return to the Windy City in 10 days! It is always nice to visit Mom, Jimmy, Adam and Terese.

Letty I found your twin... no lie. It's your twin but the older version she's probably like 35ish and has a kid that plays on Dysons baseball team, I am going to try and sneak a picture of her... then you'll see... it's kinda weird!

You both look fabulous! We're glad that you are back in town, we need to get in some serious settlers and killer bunnies before we move.
