Yesterday I attended the wedding of two friends - Rich and Jen. They are a couple that has a good story. Jen is Paul's sister. Paul is my best friend from high school. Paul and Rich worked together early in the college days, and they've been friends for years. Rich, of course, knew Jen but they never really hung out until one New Year's Eve when Jen was looking for a date to a party. Rich ended up 'doing her a favor' (according to him) and went with her - well the rest is history.
The setting was beautiful and the weather was perfect. The festivities were held at Cuneo Gardens in Vernon Hills. I guess some of My Best Friend's Wedding was filmed there. The wedding party walked in to 'Bittersweet Symphony' played by a string quartet. The bride walked in to 'At Last,' and the couple walked out of the ceremony to 'All You Need is Love.' It was outstanding.
It was a lot of fun. I had a chance to catch up with a people I hadn't seen in many many moons. I spent a lot of quality time catching up with Dana and Alana, which did my heart well. It was as though I entered a time machine and traveled to the late 90s/early aughts - and it was good.
