Introducing our gorgeous bride, Analiese!

Needless to say, we’re in love!

After the happy couple sealed the deal, it was time to celebrate!
Luckily, they didn’t have to go far to get to the reception, held inside The Clubhouse’s glass atrium!
This venue is MAGICAL, y’all!

How did the newlyweds meet?
“We met in high school, 2016!”
How did Matthew pop the question?
“We were in Chicago for a long weekend, and Matt waited all day to propose. It ended up being 12:00am in a little rose garden on the outskirts of the city. It was the perfect end to the perfect weekend!”
Was it a surprise or did she know it was coming?
“I had a feeling it was coming, since we had been together for 9 years... but the way he proposed and timing was definitely a surprise!”
After that, it was time to start dress shopping!
“I looked for wedding dresses at one store and one store only... Something Blue! My sister had gotten her dress there a few years prior, and we had the best experience and the best service. I was a little nervous going into it because I am a very indecisive person, but as soon as we started looking through the racks my nerves calmed down. I really enjoyed the day with my sisters, mom, and best friend; and REALLY appreciated the support from the ladies at Something Blue!”
How did Analiese know her dress was "the one"?
“I just kept smiling and smiling so big. It was probably the 3rd or 4th dress, and it didn't compare to the others. I had no doubts about it and just kept coming back to it!”
You can’t have doubts with a dress THAT good!!
What was her favorite part of the whole wedding planning process?
“I am a HUGE planner in life... lists, spreadsheets, everything. I really enjoyed putting all my decor together, the endless Amazon orders, and creating the dreaded seating chart!”
What about her least favorite part??
“Mailing out the invites... so time consuming! And the budgeting process of course!”
What was her favorite moment from the big day??
“Having all of our very favorite people in one place. There isn't really a feeling I can put towards it other than happiness, and it really was the best night ever.”
Finally, does Analiese have any words of wisdom for brides-to-be who are currently planning their own special day?
“ENJOY it. I know everyone says it, but don't stress the small stuff. Nobody cares what color the napkins are and nobody is going to pay attention to what song your bridal party walks down the aisle to. Remember it is the day that you marry the person you love, so keep that at the front of your priority list!”
Congratulations, Analiese and Matthew!!
