Sarabande Chicago

Wedding Day

Our Wedding

It was 2022, and after and unspecified number of Bumble swipes, Beth and Brandon landed on each other. They began to text for a couple of weeks, and then decided to meet in person to make sure they were not wasting their time with a weirdo. It was agreed upon to meet for tacos, somewhere in between, El Cid was the choice. Brandon, had little confidence in this meeting, and therefore made a reservation at 4:30 PM on Good Friday, to allow time for the night to develop elsewhere as needed. 7 hours, 2 more locations, and some margaritas on pebble ice later, things were off to a splendid start. The two began to hang out every weekend, from there on forward. Then the conflict, Brandon had been all set to move to the far away desert land of Phoenix, Arizona. Beth and Brandon were able to maintain their love via FaceTime and airplanes for a years time. Then, it became clear to Brandon that he would have to come back. He packed up the Jeep with Ernie and his belongings and drove all the way back. Beth and Brandon (and Ernie), moved in together and have created a loving household, full of laughter and naps. We wouldn't have it any other way!!! On their New Year's trip to Punta Cana, Brandon expressed to Beth that he did not want her to spend a minute of 2025 as his girlfriend, and presented her with a ring. She said yes. So here we are.....

Q + A

Sarabande is located conveniently near 90/94 and is very easy to get to. if you plan to drive, there is a parking lot right across the street for your convenience. Not driving? We would recommend taking an Uber. For those who do not live in Chicago, you will find several options for lodging. Airbnbs should be plentiful in the immediate area, otherwise there are a plethora of hotel options within Chicago. We will list a couple of them here, however there will not be a special room block or anything like that.

Travel

Chicago is such an amazing city!!!! We have a shiny bean downtown that you can go check out. If shiny beans are not your thing, there are too many great restaurants and entertainment options to even list!!!!! Our recommended Chicago activity would be the Architectural Boat Tour if the weather is nice and you have never done it!!!!
