Leonard & Umeki’s Wedding

Umeki & Len


Umeki & Her Bridesmaids


Steve & Amy


Liz & Killian


Rachelle & Dallas

Last night was Len & Umeki’s wedding at Biagio’s in Portage Park. Umeki grew up in Chicago and Len in St. Thomas. They met while attending Bradley University, where Dallas, Killian, and Steve went. Len was 1 1/2 hours late for his own wedding (!) but after he finally got there we had a great time. The ceremony was quick and sweet. Then we had cocktails and dinner and dancing. Their DJ played music that everyone loved all through dinner and after. People couldn’t even wait til dinner was over to get up and dance. I’d seen Umeki briefly at Killian & Liz’s wedding but hadn’t seen Len since Amy & Steve’s wedding last year, so it was good to see them again.

You don’t have to go home, but you can’t stay here.

Killian and Liz are surrounded by very artistic family and friends so it was no surprise that the music at their wedding was fabulous. Liz’s brothers Greg and Bill are really talented musicians. Greg has even toured with and recorded albums with Liz Phair, the Goo Goo Dolls, and Jewel, to name a few. For the wedding the brothers reunited their old band called Touche and played a whole set of 80′s crowd pleasers. You better believe that Dallas was their biggest fan!

Also, a few of Killian’s friends are really great DJs and took turns playing throughout the night. Imran (DJ Skor) played at dinner and before the band went on. Max played after the band and then Imran played a little more at the end. Everyone was so great. All of the guests danced like crazy.

Each dinner table was named after a place that Liz & Killian have visited together.

After the wedding ceremony while we were getting photos taken, there were cocktails and hors devours inside the yacht club. The dinner and reception were on a lower, outdoor deck that luckily was covered with a big tent because just before dinner it really started coming down! Dinner was delicious, of course. Killian’s friend Imran (DJ Skor) is a DJ and played music during dinner. After we were done eating, it was par-tay time!

2 Parties, 1 Night

April 13th, 2008 · 1 Comment


Steve, Rachelle, Dallas :: Rogers Park, Chicago

Party 1: Dallas’ college friend Steve and his wife Amy are moving to New Jersey at the end of the month. His going away party was on Saturday night. We played a lot of video games and talked about New Jersey and New York a lot. We don’t see Steve and Amy as much as we should here in Chicago, so wouldn’t it be funny if we get to see them more when we go on trips to the east coast? Oh, also, Steve and Amy have a really, really large and beautiful condo in Rogers Park. It’s for sale if anyone is interested! I wish I had their bathroom. I could live in it. The shower is enormous and includes a huge soaking tub and as if the rain shower head isn’t enough, it also has spouts that spray straight out from the wall!


Chris and Cory :: Humboldt Park, Chicago

Party 2: Dallas’ cousin Cory got engaged to her boyfriend Chris recently while they were on a trip to Vail. Chris’ brother and his fiance threw a party for them to celebrate. I didn’t drink at the first party, but for some reason when we got to the second party I hit the champagne cava big time and played the role of Drunk Girl. I don’t think I did anything too embarassing, but I’m sure I’ll be hearing about it anyway the next time I see all of Dallas’ cousins. FYI, the stuff below is super tasty, but lethal.

I think shotski should be a new skiing event in the next winter Olympics.
