We are looking forward to kicking off the wedding weekend with you all somewhere very special to the Grooms! To show our appreciation for all of you spending your weekend with us, we will be hosting a Welcome Mixer Friday evening, and we can't wait to see you there! **BE SURE TO BRING A PHOTO ID REGARDLESS OF AGE** Sidetrack is Chicago's first gay video bar and the largest gay bar in the midwest! This is where our Musical Monday tradition originated, and remains our go-to for afternoon slushies on the roof or vodka sodas from our favorite bartender. (This will be an after-dinner event, so please plan to take advantage of the opportunity to enjoy one of Chicago's world class dining options prior to arrival.)

Attire: Formal. Fall. Fun! From fascinators to fabulous fashions, guests are encouraged to express their full selves through their fall formals.

Guests will be welcomed into the venue beginning at 4pm, with the ceremony promptly at 4:30. A cocktail hour and reception will begin immediately following. Glass is forged in fire, broken down and crafted into something entirely new, something with the strength to endure the toughest conditions, yet still delicate and fragile. Glass is able to adapt, withstand, and persist. Even when broken, glass can always be reformed into something even more beautiful. What better place for two queer men to celebrate their love than such a place that encourages this journey every step of the way! Ignite is a state-of-the-art glassmaking studio, educational environment, and art gallery. Get excited to party and celebrate Chicago's newly-est wed couple among a rainbow of breathtaking glass artwork.
