This is an ode to morning weddings.

Lucy and Jay were really on to something when they decided to get married on a September morning at Firehouse Chicago. Not only was this something unique and different, it was also incredibly thoughtful as they wanted to marry in the morning so that Jay's Wisconsin relatives could make it down to Chicago and back home in time to milk their cows (true story--we couldn't make this up). The weather was absolutely perfect, the light for photos was superb and the vibe was laid back and loving. Lucy is incredibly organized and attentive to details and she's the only bride we know who giggled her way down the aisle. After she and Jay said "I do", guests enjoyed the sun in the garden courtyard and were later invited inside Firehouse for a carvery lunch. After their meal, dancing, lawn games AND karaoke kept everyone entertained. To top it all off, in lieu of a traditional cake, Lucy and Jay served a variety of cheese cakes as a nod to their Wisconsin relatives.
