Cleopatra and Marc Antony, Pierre and Marie Curie, Desi and Lucille, Tango and Cash -- the greatest power couples the world has ever known are about to welcome a new monolith into the fold: Sadie Gennis and Andrew Hammond. Their unmistakable je ne sais quoi has captivated hearts the world over, but don't just take our word for it... "The greatest blend of effortless style and insouciant substance since 'Herbie: Fully Loaded' " -- Gene Shalit "One is not born a genius, one becomes a genius... except for Sadie Gennis and Andrew Hammond; they've always had the goods" -- Simone De Beauvoir "Our time on this planet is like a footprint near the shore, but Sadie and Andrew, that my friends is eternal" -- Carl Sagan "Hopefully I can play both of them someday" - Meryl Streep

Built in 1900 as the private residence for Chicago banking and stockyard heir Robert Allerton, the former farmland was transformed into a lush estate that blends the natural beauty of the woodland and prairie environment with the artwork Allerton collected on his international travels. In addition to 14 miles of hiking trails, formal sculpture gardens and a 10-acre meadow, the centerpiece of Allerton Park is a Georgian Revival mansion that is said to be haunted by a Lady in White. If she does decide to make an appearance at the wedding, hopefully she'll be considerate of the bride and change her clothes for the occasion.
