To say that this wedding was beautiful is an understatement! When the talented,
Reva Nathan reached out to see if we were available December 31, 2014 for a New Year's Eve wedding at
Four Seasons Hotel Chicago we couldn't be more thrilled to have the date open. And when we met with Caroline, her mom and sister at their home in Hinsdale, we knew this was going to be an amazing wedding! They are the nicest family and graciously welcomed us into their home and we loved getting to know them.
Though Jack says he knew Caroline in high school, Caroline says the officially met when her sister, Margaret got engaged to Jack's best friend, Phil. How cool is that? Even though they talked all night about the mutual friends they shared from their days of water polo at Fenwick, a year had past since they ran into each other again at Margaret and Phil's wedding shower. A few weeks later they met up at a Blackhawks game and talk all through the game, but still didn't see each other again for a few months. I guess that is how long it took Jack to get the nerve to ask Caroline to a party. She dragged all her friends with her because she had a crush on Jack... and that is when their love story began. They dated a little over a year and half before Jack popped the question at Zoo Lights at Lincoln Park Zoo and a little over a year later, they said "I do!" I would say their love was worth the wait...!!!
Caroline's mom, Lisa was instrumental in helping her daughter plan for their big day. They said "I Do" in the evening at
St. James Chapel. One of my favorite churches in the city of Chicago!
Reva Nathan & Associates and Rishi Patel and his team at
HMR Designs did an outstanding job transforming
Four Seasons Hotel Chicago and bringing Caroline and Jack's NYE dream wedding to fruition. It couldn't have been anymore beautiful and FUN! Caroline looked stunning her
Pnina Tornai gown that she purchased at
Kleinfeld. Of course, having one of the BEST in Chicago,
Caroline Shaw owner of The Wedding Dresser help everyone get into their gowns is always a plus!
Everyone danced the night away while
Rendezvous Music entertained the crowd, not a moment the dance floor wasn't rockin'.
Caroline and Jack, we wish you both so much happiness. Marriage is wonderful, Bob and I know this after being married almost 23 years. Thank you for inviting us into your lives and trusting us with one of the most special days the two of you will share with all your friends and family!
xoxo!
~ Dawn and Bob
