The moment was finally here, Dennis walked down the long aisle of St. Alphnus church, gave his mom a hug and kiss, and took his place at the altar. The music started to play from the large church organ pipes, the guests stood up and the doors at the back of the church opened. Courtney’s dad patted her arm and they began to walk down the aisle. Courtney’s eyes filled with tears, as did Dennis’s as he watched his beautiful bride walk down the aisle towards him. Emotions were at an all-time high.
About halfway down the aisle Courtney’s long ornate lace cathedral veil snagged on the carpeted aisle and fell out of her hair. The tension in the church was broken with laughs and giggles as Courtney reached her groom and they exchanged the biggest grins. Sometimes wedding days don’t go perfect, but when all is said and done, when the vows are read and rings are exchanged you get welcomed into the beautiful realm of marriage.
The rest of the day played out perfectly, despite the frigid January windchill the bridal party braved the cold to capture some photos around Chicago. Once arriving at City View Loft, it didn’t take long for everyone to warm up. The venue was elegantly decorated with greenery and flickering candles. All of Courtney and Dennis’s guests were so excited to share their congratulations with the newlyweds.
Once dinner was over, the dance floor filled and the party began as the talented musicians of Felix and Fingers Dueling Pianos rocked the stage with favorites that had everyone singing along. Every wedding is beautiful no matter any little mishaps that may happen because, in the end, two souls are now one.
Congratulations Courtney & Dennis – we were honored to be a part of your day, and are excited to share a few of our favorite moments.
It was so great to see and catch up with one of our past Marc & Mindy couples Joselyn & Zach!
A special thanks to all the vendors who made Courtney & Dennis’s day beautiful.
