Megan and Emiliano are married

Exactly a week ago we were throwing clothes into a suitcase so we could be ready to leave (reasonably) bright and early the next day for Chicago. I had been somewhat dreading this trip. Snow in Michigan can cause heavy drifts around the south of Lake Michigan, but the worst we had to contend with was sun in our eyes!

The rehearsal dinner on Friday night was at Sal y Carvao in honor of Emiliano’s Argentinean ancestry. We were impressed by the waiters in gaucho pants serving enormous quantities of meat on spits. The late arriving cousins met for the customary pizza at Barones.

We visited the Morton Arboretum on Saturday morning and by the time we got to the church, all the family was assembled. Bob was the co-celebrant, Lucy sang and other members of the family participated in the mass. It was wonderful to have Emiliano’s parents here from Buenos Aires. Between us we can cope with French and German, but we missed out on Spanish. By Monday we were off buying Spanish dictionaries, but it would have been smart to hit the books before we got to Chicago. Esteban and Dora were most gracious and good sports through the elegant reception and the rounds of brunches and dinners that followed the wedding.

By Tuesday morning everyone was gone, leaving Megan and Emiliano and his parents to pack a U-Haul and make the long trip to New York. We missed so many of you and hope that our photographs will give you an idea of the great time we all had.
