3 reasons, actually. 1) A longstanding, deep commitment to one another that not even Tallulah's sharp little claws could puncture. 2) We really, really love you and we thought it would be fun to get you in a room with OTHER people we also really, really love to see what happens. (Who's gonna kiss! Who's gonna fight! Who's gonna follow each other on Instagram for years after!) 3) David has better health insurance.
You bet your sweet cheeks there's a dress code. Our dress code is "Wear That Thing You've Been Looking for An Excuse To Wear" Seriously. Let us be the reason to wear whatever it is that you've been itching for an excuse to wear. A neon, snakeskin suit! An anime costume that we won't "get" but we will be delighted by nonetheless! Your prom gown! A sensible black dress that you feel good in! Whatever it is, we want to see you in it.
Great question! Please don't! (Unless they're on the invite and/or we explicitly talked about this.) We love you, and we love your date/kid/snakes, but we also love following the capacity limits as set by the Chicago Fire Department and, honey, we're unfortunately at that limit. (Plus Carol's famously doesn't allow kids or snakes inside.)
We are! There will be an open bar and Carol's is whipping up a buffet of delicious heavy apps - think chicken bites, pretzel bites, tater tots, sliders, etc. - but if we were you, we'd grab a light dinner beforehand. Right(ish) in the neighborhood, we'd suggest: 1) Spacca Napoli: The best pizza (with a long wait time) in the whole world. 2) Fin Sushi: The best sushi in the whole world. 3) Hopleaf: The best beer-forward restaurant that also serves food and great mussels in the whole world. 4) Vincent: The best Chicago restaurant that Beyonce has also been to in the whole world. 5) BadaBing Wings: The best Sopranos-themed wings restaurant in the whole world.
We love you so much. We're going to profusely tell you that probably 390 more times throughout this whole wedding process. You mean the whole world to us, and we can't wait to celebrate alongside you. Also, if you have a karaoke song, please let us know now because the list has opened.
