Wedding Wednesday

We’ve said from day one how we wanted to get married in a tent. Turns out in the city of Chicago there aren’t that many spaces that have room for a 400 person tent, as well as an area for a 400 person ceremony outside. I started to think this tent thing would either have to be moved to the burbs, or not happen at all. Then one afternoon my fiance suggested Northerly Island.
Background:
Northerly Island used to be an old private airport in downtown Chicago. A couple of years ago, it was shut down and the entire runway was made into one big beautiful grassy prairie. The penninsula (not actually an island) is right on Lake Michigan with big sweeping views of the city skyline. Done and done. We walked on to the property and I think we both knew immediately. It was perfect. There is not one thing I would change.
So here it is… Northerly Island!
