THANK YOU!

Months later, we are still reeling from all the love during our wild wedding whirlwind surrounded by all of you!  

Thank you, first and foremost, to Jessica's parents John and Holly for putting on this crazy shindig.  It bears repeating that we owe almost everything to Holly for helping us expertly execute a stunning and unique artistic vision on the blank canvas that was Stone Rows Farm.  She literally worked on every detail - and everything was a composition.  

We also had so many incredibly generous and creative contributions from our wedding guests (most of which Jessica totally bungled in her end of the night speech) that we're just bursting with appreciation.  We are so lucky to have so many talented friends and family members in our lives.  Some belated shout outs to:  

Dan Kassel for serenading us down the aisle with his exquisitely composed cello loopings.  We threw a bunch of those song requests at him a few weeks before and he totally nailed them. He is crazy talented -  seriously check out his music and videos!  [Also, if anyone has video from the wedding, please send it to us!!] 

Jessica's aunt Mary Ann Bauer for designing and printing both the wedding invitation and the program - she read our minds. 

Barbara Darling, our favorite Wheaton college professor, for guiding us through our vows and marrying us! 

Carol Lipson for letting us borrow dozens and dozens of props and supplies from her personal collection (and countless afternoons letting us soak our wedding stresses away in her pool). 

Angela Law and Rae Zeutenhorst, make-up and hair goddesses, for making all of us ladies look beautiful on game day, even when we blew all the damn fuses in the house ;) 

Hae-an Chyun for baking a ridiculous assortment of cookies for the wedding - not the least of which including green & purple wedding-themed macaroons (!) at her own creative behest. 

Nick's parents Anne and Terry for putting on a terrific rehearsal dinner at Hamilton's Grill Room. 

Carol and the Lanes for setting up and breaking down a delicious Sunday brunch after the wedding - a godsend for all us late-night partiers. 

Renee Cuneo for putting together amazing, farm-themed, personalized welcome bags for the bridal party staying at Stone Rows.
