Announcing Mr. and Mrs. Joe Fanaro!

This past weekend I had the pleasure of being a bridesmaid in my longtime childhood friend Melissa's wedding. It was a beautiful day and as you can see the bride looked particularly beautiful! Many of you know Meliss and Joe so I wanted to share some of the pictures. Maddy attended the ceremony at St. Vincent DePaul church with her daddy, and was a quite a good girl. She didn't make one peep the whole time. I was nervous she was going to see me walking down the aisle and yell ,"mommy," but there was none of that. I have never been in a wedding downtown and this is the 7th wedding I have stood up in so it was really fun. The trolly was a great time, the pictures we took in Lincoln Park Zoo are going to be awesome, the food at the reception was great, and everyone danced the night away to a variety of fun tunes such as NKOTB's Covergirl. Oh and I almost forgot to mention that at 11:00 p.m. because the Hyatt Lodge reception hall is located at the McDonald's headquarters in Oakbrook, they came out with platters full of cheeseburgers for everyone and passed them out as the waitresses danced around in their cheeseburger hats to Cheeseburger in Paradise by Jimmy Buffet. Overall, it was a great wedding and I wish Melissa and Joe all the best in their future together!
