Welcome!

Welcome to our wedding information website! The wedding date and location has been set, and next year will be here before you know it!

Since many of our guests will be traveling from out of town, we wanted to put together some information to help you plan a fun, exciting, and stress-free trip to Chicago! We also thought this would be a great way to keep everyone up to date on our wedding planning progress, so please check back from time to time.

We recommend that you begin making your travel arrangements early so you can get the best deals possible and so you can make the most of your trip. Hopefully the information we have provided will help you get started, and if you have any questions or need more information, just let us know!

The information listed along the right side of this page will help you find hotels, food, entertainment, and more. Just scroll over the names and click on the link to get more detailed info. In addition, here are a few important things to know about the wedding:

• The wedding date is May 25, 2008 (This is the SUNDAY of MEMORIAL DAY WEEKEND)

• The ceremony will be at the Old Stone Church in Lemont, Il and the reception will be at Alpine Banquets in Darien, Il (These are suburbs about 25 miles west of Chicago right off of Interstate 55)

• It's about 6 miles between the church and reception hall.

• We have reserved a block of rooms at the Holiday Inn - Willowbrook, IL (first link on the right under Hotel Info). The blocked rooms have a discounted rate and the hotel has a shuttle bus available to guests for an additional cost. If we fill 10 blocked rooms, you will get 1 free round-trip shuttle.

• It's about 8.5 miles between Willowbrook (hotel location) and the church, and about 3.5 miles between Willowbrook and the reception hall.

• If you plan to fly to Chicago, we recommend that you fly into MIDWAY AIRPORT. Chicago has two major airports, and Midway is much closer to the ceremony/reception location. Also, Southwest Airlines has flights between Omaha and Midway, and they offer the best deals for tickets (if you buy them well in advance of your trip).

Good luck and happy planning! Don't hesitate to let us know if there is anything else we can help you with!
