Reception

Our Wedding

Liz and Ryan first "swiped right", realized they had a lot of the same fitness-oriented interests in common and decided they had to meet each other. Their first date was at Gaslight in Lincoln Park where they really hit it off, so much that Liz invited Ryan out afterwards to meet up with some of her girlfriends on their very first date! Ryan must not have been too overwhelmed because the rest is history :)

Travel

If you're into drinking rum punch on boats while learning a little bit about Chicago, check out an Architecture Tour on the river! There are several different companies to choose from but Shoreline is one of the best.

Shoreline Water Taxi

Some of the best shopping in the city lies on Michigan Avenue! Check out all of the shops north of the river.

Shopping on Michigan Avenue

Take the elevator all the way to the top of the Chicago Athletic Association Hotel and you'll find one of the best views of the city and lake! Cindy's has incredible cocktails as well and is an anniversary favorite for us!

Cindy's Rooftop Bar

A trip to Chicago probably wouldn't be complete without a selfie with the famous Bean!

The Bean, Chicago, IL, United States

One of the oldest and largest art museums in the US - does not disappoint!

The Art Institute of Chicago

No need to pay to go to the top of the John Hancock or the Sears! Grab a drink at the Signature Room (in the John Hancock, Chicago's 2nd tallest building) and get a great view of the city! Pro tip: the best views are actually from the women's bathroom!

The Signature Room at the 95th®

It wouldn't be our wedding weekend if we didn't include somewhere to workout :) This studio will blow your mind and it's just around the corner from the hotel! We love taking their cycle classes on the Peloton bike and they also have yoga and high intensity interval training (HIIT) classes. You can't go wrong with any of these! Grab a smoothie after class for a real treat!

Studio Three

Incredible flowers and incredible memories! A bit of a hike outside of the city (take the green line el train and it drops you off in front) but check out this conservatory to see where we got engaged :)

Garfield Park Conservatory

Take a stroll through the park and check out some furry friends! Best part? The zoo is free to get into!

Lincoln Park Zoo

The Conservatory is right by the zoo and one of our favorite places to visit! The spring showroom is INCREDIBLE - you don't want to miss it!
