Marion and Kevin- Here's to 100 Years!

The exquisite day kicked off at Marion's family Lakeview home, which a' buzz with family and 10 bridesmaids preparing for the ceremony. The vintage architecture provided beautiful backgrounds for a Marion's portraits before the Rolls arrived to whisk her away to St. Vincent DePaul where Kevin and the guests were anxiously awaiting her arrival.

The ceremony proceeded without a hitch, and had a number of special touches such as the parade of young relatives reading the Prayers of the Faithful, and other young family members singing from choir loft. As Kennedy tradition has it, we gathered Kevin's parents, siblings and their families around the altar for a intimate family portrait (it's in the slideshow and you can't miss it!) before we headed over to the Lincoln Park Conservatory where the groomsmen showed everyone that group portraits CAN have some real personality (again, you can't miss it in the slideshow).

The Chicago Club on Michigan Avenue hosted the reception. After we all had a good laugh with Kevin's best man's speech, Kevin balanced things out with a toast to Marion that opened the floodgates and sent everyone rushing for their stash of Kleenex- cheers Kevin! Following dinner, everyone was treated to a brief video recap of the day's events thanks to the videographer's quick editing skills, and then the dancing commenced!

We've provided a visual sampling of the days events. (Please allow a few minutes for the movie to load to your computer. You must have Quicktime to view the slideshow. To download the software visit the Quicktime homepage. )
