Here’s a picture from Bob and Maggie’s wedding last night in Chicago. This picture is everybody at the wedding who went to Miami. I believe the plan was for someone to send in one of their copies to be printed in the Miamian.

About the wedding: both the ceremony and the reception was held at the National Italian American Sports Hall of Fame, which was much more luxurious then its name would lead you to believe. The ceremony itself was on the fourth floor terrace, with the Chicago skyline as a backdrop. How cool is that? The catering was also wonderful - buffet style with a pasta bar and a carving station. Plenty of options for everyone. There was even a reception before the reception with hors dourves (sp?) in the actual museum - with Michael Andretti’s formula one car hanging over our heads.

Despite all the fanciness, Bob and Maggie seemed to organize the wedding in a very laid back manner. I saw nobody worrying if they were in the right place at the right time. It was all around fun for a wedding - I usually find a reception has a life of about 90 minutes after everyone has eaten. Makes me regret my decision to drive home the same night, cause I had to leave early and I couldn’t drink. 11PM came way too fast. Although it was nice to wake up at home today (without a hangover).
