Thank you so much for the beautiful oak serving board! We can’t wait to use it during the many dinner parties you’ll be invited to this winter. Looking forward to celebrating with you at our wedding!

For a kitchen gift you received before your wedding

How did you know we were dreaming of those crystal champagne flutes?! They’re by far the most beautiful glasses in our home and we’ve never felt fancier. You’ll have to come over soon so we can toast to you! So excited to see you in June.

For drinkware you received before your wedding

We had a blast dancing the night away with you at our wedding. We also can’t thank you enough for the espresso maker. Our mornings have never been brighter! We can’t wait to see you in Austin next month… all caffeinated up!

For a coffee gift you received after your wedding

Where have you been hiding those killer dance moves? Thank you so much for rocking out at our wedding. And we absolutely love our new cast iron skillet and cookbook! We’re already cooking up a storm. Hope to see you soon in New York!

For cookware you received after your wedding

Thank you so much for the beer-brewing kit! We hope to be sipping backyard IPAs with you in no time. We missed you at the wedding, but know you were there in spirit. Can’t wait to see you when we’re back from our honeymoon!

Tess & Chad

Here’s a few of our favorite places to eat, drink, and hang out around the city!

One of our favorite deep dish pizzas in Chicago! Be prepared to wait, but it’s so worth it.

Pequod's Pizza

Tess’s favorite restaurant! Brunch is great, dinner is great, drinks are even better! We came here immediately after Chad proposed.

etta

Located on top of Hotel Lincoln, this rooftop bar offers great drinks and views of our city!

The J. Parker

This rooftop bar has some of the best views, grab a delicious cocktail as you gaze over Millennium Park and Lake Michigan.

Cindy's

We have spent plenty of summer nights walking to get this delicious ice cream (at Chad's dismay). These are all around the city if you get the craving!

Jeni's Splendid Ice Creams

A consistent favorite of ours! Great fried chicken, hush puppies, and frozen cocktails!

Parson's Chicken & Fish

Debatably the BEST burger in Chicago. If you can't handle the wait, visit it's more casual spinoff, Small Cheval, for a quick bite.

Au Cheval

If you need a good laugh, this is the place to go.

The Second City

If you are new to the city, an architectural tour is a must! There's tons to choose from.

This famous live blues center always guarantees a good time. Plus, some pretty big names have been known to drop by from time to time.

Kingston Mines

Take a leisurely walk, go for a jog or a bike ride along 18.5 miles of beautiful Lake Michigan.

Lakefront Trail

Great food if you're in the mood for something a bit more upscale. And a beautiful view of the river!

If the urge to hit a couple golf balls hits, this place is great! Plus, there’s a bar and lovely lawn.

Diversey Driving Range

Our lovely and FREE zoo. Great walking trails surrounding the zoo, too.
