Emily and I have been best friends since kindergarten and I cannot begin to describe how excited we were when Jeff proposed to her. Emily was the first of our childhood group of friends to get engaged and when Jeff proposed here in Chicago, we knew the next year was going to be a blast! […]

I was really looking forward to meeting Kate and Tim. They were in town from DC one weekend in June and the fun began! We were exactly one year out when we met on a Sunday morning over coffee and we immediately clicked. I felt like I was talking to old friends and was so […]
