Wedding

My boyfriend and I went to a wedding Friday evening. It was in a Chicago Park District Building on Promontory Point in Hyde Park. It's a beautiful buidling, in a lovely grassy tree-covered area right on the lake with a spectacular view of the Chicago skyline. The ceremony was outside on the patio, and the tables for the reception were set up right inside the building, 10 feet away. They served a lovely buffet of almost all vegetables: salad, roasted variety (peppers, carrots, brussel sprouts, squash, broccoli, cauliflower), potatoes, stuffed eggplant with marinara sauce, and chicken with mushrooms. They had a jazz band playing during dinner and afterwards. Very lovely wedding.

wedding

What:
Dress: Guess (thrifted)

Earrings & Necklace: crystals from a crystal shop in Virginia
Sweater: Mossimo
Leather Blazer: vintage (mine from the 1980's; my great-aunt gave it to me, but it was a bit too big back then)

Thanks for my boyfriend for the photos of me, and for posing for a photo himself!
