muchlove to both of you, your attention to detail is amazing and in both events you both look stunning. The room and Chicago in general look great and even seem to match your overall theme.

I'm glad that you can finally celebrate and be recognised federally, you should have been able to do that years ago.

Wishing you both joy and happiness on your special day and for all the days thereafter.

Congratulations to you both.

Unfortunately, I will still be at WDW that day, or I would have surely crashed the party... not that I know where to go anyway!

Such we are traveling by train, we have to carry everything.
We decided not to do flowers this time... so instead we
took the extra wedding decorations & the artificial snow..
and tucked them all inside the glass jar. We just went
around and delivered them last night so everyone has something
to remind them of the wedding..but they can still utlize
it thru out the holidays if they want to.

The start of the men's "Chicago Survival Bag" for the men.
I found these cool Travelocity Travel Tech Bags for the guys stuff..
inside will be mints, gum, hand lotion, chapstick, a map of downtown
Chicago (because we know men don't ask for directions! eek )
and a few other small items...
We are bring them with and giving them to the guys when we arrive
at the hotel.

The ladies will also have their own "Chicago Survival Bag" ..
We found silver, glittery clutch purses with small handles,
and filled them with the cute kleenex, chapstick, handlotion,
mints, & gum. They also will get their bags upon our arrival
at the hotel.

Amy wanted to hand draw a cool, Chicago skyline design...
so after she drew it, I scanned it in the computer to Paint-
and she added the name and date..then we found an
online company to put them on the shot glasses.
The shot glasses go with us, and we will use them
for a Buttershot toast. The glasses then go home with
the wedding party for a favor.

We all have the same taste in wines..
sparkling, sweet and light.
So the Champagne for the wedding day
dinner will be Barefoot Pink Moscato Champagne.
