Chris and Jen tie the knot!

Jen and I got married at the Chicago City Hall courthouse on July 19th, 2008. We'll be having a ceremony for all the relatives and friends in summer 2009, so stay tuned...


Look! No pre-wedding jitters!

Either Chris is really sleepy, or he's camera shy!

After the ceremony with the judge (and the long line waiting to submit an application for copies of marriage certificates), we took some pictures in a long hallway at the courthouse.

Dad, Mom, me, and Jen. Jen looks taller than Mom here... or maybe it's the high heels.

Even better picture. Who was taking the shots at this time? Tom or Kate?

After the courthouse wedding we went to Friendship Park Conservatory to research the extended family ceremony and reception. The view was pretty good here.

In addition to the gazeebo, there was also a miniature waterfall here. So we (surprise!) took more pictures in front of it.

Yup, the one in red is definitely the cuter of the two.
