The Fireman Takes A Wife...

Amidst the every changing spring weather we had experienced this year, the last day of April was no exception. While the sun was passionate about coming out early on April 30th 2011, it also kept us in suspense as the day wore on. Fortunately, no rain dampened Holly & Nick's big day at White Pines Golf Club in Bensenville IL. In addition to the beautiful and manicured surroundings, the guests were treated to a dinner fit for a king. Succulent Prime Rib, mouth-watering Chicken breast and delectable side-dishes served family style, kept the 100+ guests pleased and happy. After dinner, it was all eyes on Holly and Nick as they started the festivities with their first dance appropriately titled "Marry Me" by Train. Later on, everyone participated in the traditional Polish custom called "The Apron" dance. Arranged by close family friend Cindy Henkel, Holly and Nick (seated in chairs on the dance floor) were surrounded and serenaded by the group in a double-circle to the classic schmaltzy tune "Let Me Call You Sweetheart". The tradition is a throw-back to olden days when life was less complicated and bride's everywhere automatically assumed the title of "homemaker" after saying their vows. With a great guy like Nick who really pitched in to help assist his beautiful bride with the entire wedding planning, I somehow don't think we will be seeing Holly slaving as a housewife anytime soon. It's easy to see they love to help each other and are a great match! It's true matches can start fires (just ask Nick...he's a Firefighter!) and I see this one as a 5-alarm "Blaze of Glory" for happiness. Best wishes always, Holly and Nick!

Love, Laughter and Happily Ever-After...

That's the way Marti & Josh's big day ended on Friday April 29th 2011. However, the real story was that even though this spectacular event had to end, Marti & Josh's lives together are just beginning. Like Shrek and Fiona, this modern day fairy-tale made all attending say "I'm A Believer". With an elegant ceremony and gorgeous room "done to the nines", the event was only eclipsed by a reception that started with cocktails in the Lisle Wyndham's Atrium and Grand Ballroom set with white linen chair covers with royal blue ties, a "to-die-for" chocolate fountain and uniquely-crafted, platinum signing picture for the guests to leave a creative note or two. Even the first dance "Tangled Up In You" by Staind was more than just a favorite of Marti & Josh, it seemed to captivate the audience because of it's unique and meaningful lyrics. An awesome choice for an awesome couple! Best wishes and Congratulations Marti & Josh!
