A Small Wedding at Rosebud Prime

Darcy and Adam had a small, mostly family wedding in the private second floor room at Rosebud Prime, 1 South Dearborn on Friday at noon. Rachel Flores, the manager told me after the wedding that it was their first wedding and they would welcome other small weddings there. Rachel and the staff were certainly helpful and even though I did not stay for lunch, the restaurant has some very positive reviews on Yelp.

I had talked earlier with Darcy about what she wanted included in the ceremony and emailed a full script to both she and Adam for their review. Because those attending were very close family and friends, we included a Pledge of Support in which I asked, “Will you, the family and friends of Adam and Darcy, you who know and love them best, pledge to them your honesty, compassion, and support? Will you continue to be quick to encourage and slow to criticize, ready to share both tears and laughter? Will you continue to share with them the deepest concerns of life—whether in grief or in joy. If you will pledge these gifts to Darcy and Adam, answer: We will." Everyone enthusiastically responded, “We will.”

So if you are planning a wedding for around 20 people, check out Rosebud Prime.
