Real Wedding: Tammy and Matt

As I start my Real Wedding series of blog posts, I'd like to share the wedding of Tammy and Matt who were married on February 22, 2014.  The American ceremony took place at Chicago Theological Seminary and the reception at Zhou B Art Center.  The Buddhist ceremony in honor of the groom's culture took place 2 weeks prior.  150 of Tammy and Matt's guest, some who traveled internationally, met the harsh winter with a day of love and laughter.  The couple brought in so many cultural touches to their turquoise and apple red ceremony and reception.  Take a peek:
