I was the coordinator at a beautiful wedding this past weekend. The wedding was at Starved Rock State Park, about two hours from Chicago. It was two creative, thoughtful, lovely people marrying each other and the whole day reflected their good qualities.
Things I loved about this wedding: friends of the couple were the musicians at the ceremony; the groom had constructed a decorative trellis for use at the ceremony; he was also seen helping to take it apart after the ceremony while waiting to be photographed (!); the couple actually managed to imbue their wedding colors with personal meaning, and they worked that meaning into the ceremony itself; I saw three eagles circling over the river before the ceremony, which I thought was a good augury; the groom removed the garter from the leg of his lovely bride in a way that did not to embarrass anyone, least of all the bride. They threw a great party, but I think what everyone will remember best is how happy they were to be marrying each other.
