Our Wedding

Tim and Molly met their Freshman year at VIllanova University, where they lived in the same dorm. They were fast friends and began dating in their Junior year. Fast-forward 7 years later, Molly lived in Cleveland and Tim in Pittsburgh. They drove about 8,500 miles to see each other over the years and finally decided it was time to get married. Tim proposed on a walk in the woods and Molly threw aside her walking stick and said yes!

Q + A

We have reserved a block of rooms at the Residence Inn Marriott. Rooms are available for $119.95. Each room has a small kitchenette and seating area. There will be a hospitality suite available if folks want to socialize and a shuttle to take you from the hotel to the church and reception. They are holding the block until May 5th and suggest that you use the website link provided to make the reservation.

Residence Inn Chicago Lake Forest/Mettawa

There are two airports for Chicago- O'Hare and Midway. O'Hare is closer by about 30 minutes, so we suggest using that airport

Airport

We will provide a shuttle from the hotel to the church, the church to the reception, and the reception to the hotel.

Shuttle

We strongly suggest that you rent a car while here. If you'd like to do anything other than attend the wedding (like come to the Sunday brunch!), you may have a hard time with getting a cab. O'Hare airport has many rental car options or you can rent closer to the hotel.

Other transportation

Travel

The Chicago Botanic Gardens are a quick drive from the hotel, church, and reception. Enjoy a walk through the beautiful gardens.

Botanic Garden

Lake Forest has a wonderfully quaint downtown area. Explore the restaurants and shops- including the Lake Forest Bookstore, where Molly's mom works. Try eating at Egg Harbor (breakfast), Lake Forest Food and Wine (lunch), or Market House (dinner).

Lake Forest Market Square

The local theater is playing Don't Dress for Dinner on Friday night- a comedy about mistaken identities. Tickets are $37.50.

Citadel Theatre

Spend the day at the closest amusement park, home to the American Eagle roller coaster, the world's tallest and fastest racing wooden coaster.

Six Flags Great America

Downtown Chicago, about a 40 minute drive from Lake Forest, is a destination of it's own. Take an architectural tour by boat, wander through the art museum or Field Museum, shop the Magnificent Mile, or catch a show at Second City. Drive yourself downtown or take the Metra Train from Lake Forest to the city (use the Milwaukee North line).
