Danada House - Wheaton, Illinois
The Danada House & Equestrian Farm
Ceremony and reception on-site
We were engaged on December 22nd, 2008. It was negative 4 degrees outside. The Chicago Bears and Green Bay Packers were playing at Soldier Field. The city of Chicago was quiet and still. Unless they were at the game, everyone else was most likely warm inside their cozy homes. Not us, we were standing on a bridge in the freezing cold with no one else in sight. The new mittens I had just received from Todd were keeping me warm and served several purposes. They had a tiny button. A button that would undo a flap that would expose my fingers, but still keep my hands warm. Under the city lights, in my favorite picturesque spot in the city, the place of his first "I love you", he placed a beautiful new ring on my finger that forever will be the moment we decided to be a family. Shortly after fireworks brightened the sky from Soldier Field as the Bears were victorious over the Packers. We didn't know then that fireworks would be part of our chosen wedding date, but it would make so much sense. The last time we had been at this bridge, when we realized we could see it being us forever, well it was the 4th of July.
Six months later, I was married at my dream location to my dream man.
On the Fourth of July.
