Saturday morning we got up and had breakfast at the hotel. We then got ready and headed down to Lincoln Park for the morning. We took a stroll through the Lincoln Park Zoo, which was nice. Then we walked down to the beach. We didn't lay out or swim, but enjoyed dipping our feet in the water and taking in the beautiful view. We then went to Portillo's for a Chicago-style hot dog. It was at this time that we started to realize the true joy (note my sarcasm) of Chicago parking. Not only is parking in this city expensive, but it's incredibly hard to find places to park. By the time we actually got to lunch (around 2:00), we both felt like we might eat our own arms off.
After lunch, we decided to head back to the hotel to take a nap before the wedding. When we got up, we called our friends Josh and Jaime to see if they wanted to ride with us to the wedding venue. We met them downstairs and headed to Monastero's Ristorante. It was a nice, short but sweet ceremony. I was excited because it was my first (semi) Jewish wedding and they did the whole stomping on the glass at the end, which was cool to see.
After the ceremony, we proceeded to the banquet hall next door and began to take advantage of the open bar. The night went on with the dinner, cake cutting, dance, photobooth fun, and a trolley or some sort of shuttle ride home that I don't really remember. Despite the hangover I had the next day, it was a lot of fun!
