Barb and Neal got married in their suburban home on one of the coldest days of the year but the atmosphere was warm inside. All of their guests received a beautiful and fresh Hawaiian lei as we walked in the door. We had been encouraged to wear summer clothing and many of us wore our favorite Hawaiian shirt or blouse. It was a stark contrast to step in from the cold weather outside and see a house full of people dressed in summer clothes and listening to Hawaiian music.
Barb and Neal had originally planned a destination wedding in Hawaii where they vacation every year but the realized that traveling that far would prohibit most of their friends from attend. So, they brought Hawaii to their home.
Their love and affection for each other was obvious through out the ceremony and as several friends and relatives made comments it was obvious that Neal and Barb were deeply loved by everyone there.
Once it was over it was back to the harsh realities of the Chicago winter but the wedding was a fantastic break.
