Our Wedding

Janelle and I were married on September 19th, 2009 in a cozy ceremony at the stunning Jackson Park Osaka Garden in Chicago, IL, the city we've made our home. In attendance were my parents, Jay and Beth Thorson, Janelle's parents, Dale and Marcia Buda, her Grandmother Lois, and her sister, Christi. Our good friends from Hyde Park, Liv and Elijah, were also there to support us (and hold things).

After the ceremony, we walked around the gorgeous gardens (the weather was perfect!) and took pictures which we'd love you to see! We proceeded to Picolo Mondo Resaurant, the little Italian place where I took Janelle the night I proposed! They prepared our favorite cream of roasted pepper soup specially for us that day.

After eating, we took a "honeymoon cruise" on the Wendella tour boat along the Chicago River and Lake Michigan. It was a beautiful way to end such a wonderful day.
