January 8, 2025

Under the warm July sun, Dori and Sam’s wedding day unfolded with love, laughter, and vibrant energy at the Mirage Banquets at Four Points Sheraton in Schiller Park. From the very beginning, it was clear this celebration would be anything but ordinary. Every moment was infused with playfulness, heartfelt connection, and an undeniable sense of joy, setting the stage for a day the couple — and their guests — will cherish forever.

The day began with a memorable and playful first look. As Sam eagerly awaited his bride, Dori brought an unexpected guest to their private moment — a giant cardboard cutout of Sam’s beloved cat, Maxx! The surprise set the tone for a day brimming with laughter and lighthearted fun, a true reflection of the couple’s vibrant personalities.

Before the ceremony, Dori and Sam shared an intimate Ketubah signing surrounded by their closest friends and family, including loved ones who traveled all the way from Israel to celebrate this special occasion. In a touching twist, guests took turns signing the back of the Ketubah paper, symbolizing their promise to support and uplift Dori and Sam throughout their marriage. It was a heartfelt moment that highlighted the love and community surrounding the couple.

The ceremony that followed was touching and beautiful, leading seamlessly into a lively cocktail hour where guests mingled, shared stories, and raised glasses in celebration. As the evening progressed, the atmosphere became even more vibrant. Guests enjoyed an array of delicious desserts, and the dance floor stayed packed throughout the night. The hora was a standout moment, with Dori and Sam lifted into the air, surrounded by cheers and infectious energy.

Dori and Sam’s wedding was a day filled with genuine moments, shared laughter, and meaningful connections. As they begin this new chapter together, we wish them a future filled with happiness, partnership, and endless memories.

Congratulations, Dori and Sam!
