We're getting married!

We met at a party in the South Loop in October 2006. We locked eyes across the room and Bob approached Colleen. We spent the rest of the evening dancing and engrossed in conversation getting to know each other. On October 27th 2006, Colleen asked Bob if he'd be her boyfriend. He couldn't resist her charm. We've been inseparable ever since. Our wedding is on our 12 year anniversary!

Colleen had been away from Chicago studying in Paris. Bob knew it was the perfect place to propose. He arrived in Paris with the ring in his possession. He insisted on visiting the Eiffel Tower on his first night. Colleen lamented, "Really, Tonight!? It will be swarming with tourists! We're not going all the way there tonight!" He persisted. She conceded. We had a dinner at a a brasserie near the Place du Trocadéro. Afterward, we strolled through the rain toward the Eiffel Tower. We walked under the tower and paused before the Champ de Mars. When it lit up for its hourly show, he dropped to one knee. Afterwards, we stopped into a neighborhood cafe to get out of the rain and celebrate with a glass of champagne. We'll never forget the way Paris glistened that night.

October 27th is an important date for us. We've celebrated our anniversary every year on this date. Now, we'll be surrounded by our friends and family as we finally marry! We love to go out in the city we love and eat delicious food. Our wedding is a chance to provide our favorite experiences with those that we love! We're thrilled to celebrate with you! XO Colleen and Bob
