Disclaimer - I don't have one good picture of Nik & John's wedding since I was in it and Jay was chasing Nick. As soon as I have link to the photographer's photos, I will post it.
On August 8, my little sister, Nikki, became John Scully's wife. I have literally never seen a more beautiful or happier bride in my life! Nikki and John have known each other since high school and have been dating for 4 1/2 years, so it was quite a celebration.
Jay, Nick and I flew up to Chicago on Thursday and joined my parents, brother Austin, his girlfriend and several family members from Costa Rica in a house we rented in Wrigleyville. We kicked off the wedding weekend by making dinner, opening gifts and hanging out with our Costa Rican family Thursday night. It was like the relative calm before the wedding madness! Jay was a good sport since he had to take care of Nick while I ran around Chicago helping my sister.
The rehearsal dinner on Friday night was held at a Chicago staple, Giordanos Pizza. There was a great, casual vibe as everybody started getting excited for the next day's festivities. Roopa, one of the bridesmaids, put together a slideshow of Nikki and John which was the absolute show stealer.
Saturday was nuts.
Wedding day is always crazy and we were also working with the challenges that A)Nikki is the only person in the family that knows the way around Chicago and B) my dad was driving a rented 12 person passenger van. Let's just say it made for some stressful moments.
Nikki and John rented a trolley to take us, the wedding party, from the hotel, through Chicago for pictures and to the church. We had a great time and I can't wait to see the crazy pictures.
As for my Nick, well, he did his best, but it was difficult for him. He's a schedule kid and we basically laughed at the schedule during the wedding weekend. He DID make it up the aisle at the church....along with his "wubbie", a pacifier and holding Jay's hand.
The reception was held at Germania Place, near Lake Shore Drive and continued the beauty, joy and celebratory mood of the weekend. Congratulations Mr. and Mrs. John Scully!
