Wendy and Todd’s Wedding Story

I get the chance to learn a little about my bridal clients the year leading up to their wedding.  Through phone calls, emails, and engagement sessions details about their love stories start to come out.  Wendy and Todd have such a charming tale of meeting and “remeeting.”  If you’re a local Chicagoan, especially a northsider, you might be familiar with a late night bar called Beaumonts in Lincoln Park.  It was while waiting in line at the very popular spot that Wendy first met the man she’d eventually marry.  After “dancing into the wee hours of the night,” Todd walked the lovely Wendy home like any gentleman should.  All was going well, Wendy even offered him her number as he bid her farewell.  The only problem, he forgot to unlock his phone as he type in her numbers (remember this WAS a late night).

Thankfully, Todd’s a resourceful man.  The very next morning, just around 7am Wendy received a facebook request from the dark haired man.  The following week they had their first date (at Starbucks) and have been together ever since!

When described Todd in this way, he is “super laid-back and brings a sense of calm to my sometimes anxious self.”

The two really compliment each other.  It was wonderful to see the smiles each brought to each other during their wedding!

Big thanks to my second, Michael Boyd for his help on this wedding, as well as these vendors:
