We traveled to Chicago for the wedding of a great friend of the family (and the couple has also recently moved to Charlotte... yay!). My in-laws also attended the wedding so it was great seeing them as always! I haven't been to Chicago since I was a girl, and really all I remembered was it being cold and riding the train that goes above the city.
This time around it was still cold (and very windy!!) but we had a great time... it's a BEAUTIFUL city. Everywhere you turn there is marble and granite... yum.
Here are a few pictures from our weekend!
The wedding was GORGEOUS!! The reception was held at the Palmer House. It was the most elegant wedding I had ever been to.
CONGRATS to Mike and Jacquelyn!!
And now back to the daily grind :)
Beautiful photos! I love cities right at the water's edge - skyscrapers contrasted against the waves is so lovely!

Oooh, love the Art Institute! Way too long since I've been there. Looks like a beautiful wedding and reception venue - and your dress is fabulous!
ReplyDeleteI'm glad you liked Chicago!! I've lived there my whole life and can't really see myself anywhere else...though the winters do get a little rough. But I suppose I don't mind that much, I did get married in Chicago, in the middle of the winter.
ReplyDeleteWhere did you get that dress for the wedding?! I love it!!
ReplyDeleteThank you! This isn't much help but I found it at a local consignment store! It's a size 2 and I'm normally a size 6.. but I loved it so much I squeezed myself into it (thanks to the flow-y skirt!). Although in some pictures I looked a little pregnant haha! The brand is Donna Morgan.
ReplyDeletegirl, your eyebrows look good. ;)
ReplyDeletelove the pics of Chicago! i see you made it to the art institute (my favorite) and the shedd. it is cold and windy at times (ok, a lot), but it's such a great city. i live here and probably take it for granted too much.
ReplyDeleteLooks like a fund weekend--you were so stylish all weekend long, but I LOVE that black lace dress for the wedding.
ReplyDeleteI love your earrings & make-up in the wedding pics!
ReplyDeleteI looove Chicago! Half of my family is from there and I try to go at least once a year to visit. This is THE perfect time of year to go. Unlike the South, they actually get a nice long Fall season :).
ReplyDeleteThat's the church I got married in last year! Crazy to see it pop up randomly like that in your post. Glad you had fun in my town.
ReplyDeletelooks like a blast! You two are adorable together. Oh and happy belated anniversary. The Mr and I married at your ages too. Being in the deep south though we were considered old. Ha.
ReplyDeleteIt looks like you had lots of fun! I LOVE the dress you wore for the wedding! You look gorgeous on it!
ReplyDeleteI love all the pics you took!
