It was a bright, sunny and bitterly cold day for Lauren and Brian's wedding in Chicago. The church was Brian's family church St Bernadine's in Forest Park. A few things always go wrong but the Sacrament of Marriage happens no matter what.The priest, Fr Grady was a stitch telling bridesmaids to line up and get the show on the road. The programs were late but beautiful, silver and beaded, a theme for the wedding. We had sparklers to light after the
ceremony.
The reception was held at the Armour House about 20 minutes from the hotel via shuttle bus at 6:00pm. It was a beautiful mansion that Mrs Macchia and Lauren enhanced with their vision of a winter's night, all silver and white. Irene had saved tree branches which were sprayed silver and potted in silver pots. There were 4 fireplace mantles decorated with 25 candle sticks, candlabras and candles columns, each numbered as to placement on the mantle, stunning,
Each tables had several vases of real roses in bunches plus tea lights. The piece' de resistance
was a basket of white sequined spa slippers to wear dancing to the fabulous band with 3 vocalists.

Mumma, I was editing your post and accidentally deleted the first picture. Opps... sorry. Thanks for posting the update on Lauren's wedding. I did not get any pictures at the church or at the reception with my camera. As soon as I get my pre-wedding photos uploaded, I will post some of the good ones. Lauren was a stunning bride and it was an honor to be with her on her wedding day!
Charles and I had a blast...we were a bit chilly, but it is because we are not used to the coldness up there. The high on Thurs was 17, but Saturday was nice and sunny!
