This past weekend James and I attended a wedding in Chicago for Catherine and James Pickrel. It was an interesting invite for us, since we were attending as friends of the parents of the bride. I hadn't realized I was old enough to fit into this category yet, but gladly attended to support my friend, Delia, and her family in their happy moment.The beautiful ceremony was held in a Lutheran Church. The bride was absolutely glowing as she entered the church. The groom became choked up upon seeing his bride, who spoke with a quaking voice as she said her vows. It was truly emotional. I thoroughly enjoyed the personal comments thrown into the ceremony, especially involving college teams and their enemies. The bride and groom met at Oklahoma State.
Following the ceremony, we all headed to Wrigley Field for the reception. The wedding cakes went along with the baseball theme, as well as hot dogs as a specialty for dinner, and baseballs as the party favors. It was a truly enjoyable evening. Be wary of telling the mother of the bride, "it was a beautiful wedding". The comment can lead to a few tears. Also, watching the father-daughter dance was another teary moment.
Catherine and James looked so happy together and I wish them a wonderful new beginning!

Everyone looks really nice. Nice dress Melissa. And Delia, you look great!
What a cool concept for a wedding! Congratulations to Delia and her family. And you look awesome, you skinnie-minnie you, even if you do say the rain made your hair poofy.
I didn't notice you had poofy hair, but, honestly, I wasn't noticing much. I did notice your nice dress! It was a great wedding, all went well, and I was so glad that you were there!
How fun to see some pictures. So glad it went well! Delia a mother-in-law! OMG
