#weswipedright Yeah, that's right. We met online, specifically Tinder. There were a couple of interesting dates that took place before we met each other, to say the least. But, once Kevin asked if he could buy me tacos and a margarita..or two, all was history pretty much. So, we met during one of the best Chicago summer fests there are--Midsommar Fest in Andersonville, at the corner of Clark and Balmoral (also, where the port-o-potties happened to be set up, we still laugh about that today), and went to Cecas's Margarita Bar for finger burritos (yea, an odd name.. but tasty) and Margs. We were having a great time so decided to walk through the neighborhood a bit, we stopped at a few festival tables, a bar or two, a creepy magician show, ran into some friends, hid in a treasure chest (that's a whole other story) and ended the night laughing and dancing together at Mary's Attic!

"When you realize you want to spend the rest of your life with somebody, you want the rest of your life to start as soon as possible." -When Harry Met Sally ...SOOOO We did it! I know we said love is patient.. but we couldn't wait! We became Mr. & Mrs. Shay on a perfectly sunny day, on a Monday, the last day of August, in the tranquility of the Lily Pool in Lincoln Park, married by my best friend, surrounded by our closest family members and a few wonderful friends. It was an absolute dream! (Of course, we missed you ALL, and cannot WAIT to celebrate in May and do it all over again with you by our side) Words can't come close to express all the feelings. I have so much love, happiness, and gratitude towards my amazing husband, my wonderful family, my new beautiful in-laws, and true and lasting friendships. To love, laughter, and happily ever after! ❤🤵💍👰❤ #shaywithme #twoshay #justmarried #twoworldscollide #covidwedding #marriedin2020 #pandemiccantstopus #lilypond Photography: @rainstormphoto Hair & makeup: @mua_meli_beauty Flowers: @trickyyy1 -me Dress: @justinalexander Tie: @the.bowcompany Officiant: William Hamer Location: Alfred Caldwell Lily Pool Psssst... go here fora peek at our wedding photos! https://gallery.rainstormphoto.com/nikkiandkevin/
