Carrie & Patrick (St. Peter the Apostle/Loews Chicago)

“Patrick James, words can’t describe how happy you make me and I am so happy that today I become your wife. I don’t know how I got so lucky to marry someone so handsome, driven, supportive, thoughtful and loving, but I’m so grateful to call you mine.”

Kerry & Matthew (Hawthorn Woods Country Club)

“In many ways football is like marriage. There is offense, defense, out of bounds, running, passing, and of course, kicking and screaming. In other ways, marriage is different than football. No one can come in off the bench. You are in this deal 100% playing both ways, however the biggest difference, is that football is just a game. Marriage is for real, but like football, the key in marriage is being able to develop a game plan and execution. So, get out there and make it happen!”

Natalie & Troy (Etta/Old Post Office)

“Troy, you came into my life when I wasn’t looking and I thought my life was as fulfilled and content as it needed to be. Choosing to love you and choosing to intertwine our lives was the easiest decision for me to make. Thank you for opening your heart to me. Thank you for being my safe space; the person with whom I can share all of me and who appreciates and sees the worth in every part of who I am.”

Natina & Peter (Fishermen's Inn)

“…and my heart is just full of joy. And it’s full of joy because my daughter, my first born, is so happy and as a father, and as a parent, there isn’t anything else you could ask for, as when you can see in her eyes, that she’s so happy and that I don’t need to be concerned, I don’t need to be worried. She made the right decision and I’m so proud of that.”
