I’ll go get a ring, let the choir bells sing…

As I mentioned in an earlier post, picking a wedding reception venue is no easy task, but I can finally say with complete confidence that we have chosen our place and date! Come July 20, 2013, MBA and I will hold the biggest party of our lives at the Shedd Aquarium! Though I originally had my heart set on a place in Lake Geneva (which would be equally beautiful), we were blown away with our tour of the Shedd and the options available to us. It combines everything that I was looking for including a lighted white tent on the terrace for a cocktail reception (hello hometown skyline!), a unique setting for dancing (front foyer complete with pillars) and BONUS – a perfect view of the Navy Pier fireworks.

As if I wasn’t sold already, these photos of previous Shedd weddings were the icing on the cake (which I’m thinking should be made of individual cupcakes, btw)
