alexis is married! i just can't get over it. alexis and gordy met when she and i were living together in lincoln park. i can literally say that i've been there since day one. it has been truly amazing to watch their relationship develop over the last three years and i was so overwhelmed with joy witnessing the two of them get married. they met on valentine's day 2013. me and tony had dinner plans, as most couples do. a few of our single friends were going out that night and wanted alexis to ...

kurt and elizabeth.
we just spent a few days down at disney for tony’s cousin’s wedding. both the bride and groom absolutely love disney and it was their dream to get married there. i have to admit, the more weddings i go to, the more they all start to blend together. not this one. there is no way we will forget this one. the wedding guests all stayed at disney's pop century resort. this is one of the budget-friendly hotels at disney. it definitely wasn't as fancy as some of the other disney resorts, ...

adam and melanie.
tony and i were back in chicago this weekend for my friend (and grad school roommate) melanie’s wedding. her (now) husband adam is actually from scotland and wore a kilt for their wedding(!!). tony and i agreed after this weekend that all men should wear kilts instead of tuxes. it was kind of amazing. my favorite part of the weekend was catching up with our friends that live too far away to see all the time. this is the main perk of being at the age when all your friends get married. the ...

robert and nikki.
over the weekend we were in east lansing for tony’s friend robert’s wedding. robert was in our wedding back in june, and tony was very happy to return the favor just 4 weeks later. this was the first wedding we had been to since our big day, and it was such a relief to just be a guest. i appreciate and enjoy weddings so much more knowing everything that goes into them. robert and his wife nikki are huge michigan state fans and their wedding reception was actually at the football stadium. ...

every last detail.
our wedding reception was at aria in the north loop of minneapolis. the minute we toured this venue i knew it was the one. we wanted our wedding to be modern yet traditional and this restored warehouse was perfect. aria is a complete blank canvas for a bride to do whatever she wants with. this is the best (but also worst) part because the choices are absolutely endless. at the end of the day, i choice the vendors that i connected with and who i trusted to execute my vision. the 8 foot ...
