We are Married!

Dan and I had a perfectly wonderful wedding day. The weather was gorgeous, 70 and sunny. We took the bus to the Blue Line down to City Hall, where we met Peggy, Ted, Dawn, Brad, Nancy and Sarah Riley. Sarah brought me a beautiful bouquet of cream-colored roses. Marriage Court at City Hall was awesome! We waited about 15 minutes, and Brad played the Hawaiian Wedding Song on a tiny little cassette player. Hilarious! We were ushered into a small office and were married by Judge Steven Bernstein, who was fabulous. It was a warm and very loving ceremony. It was so much more than we all expected! After the ceremony Nancy passed out barley for everyone to toss at us when we exited City Hall. So cool! We then went over to the food court at the State of Illinois building to get something to drink and relax until it was time to go to Petterino's for lunch. We enjoyed a step dancing demonstration at the State of IL building. It was all so perfect, and we had a blast. At 1:15 we made our way to the restaurant and were joined by my niece Katie and her husband Steve. Lunch was delicious, and then Dan and I made our way back home. Tomorrow we are off to Akron, Ohio for AA Founders Day. I could not have had a more perfect little wedding!! We are very, very happy.
