A Real Wedding at St. Mary Church

Liz and Mike were married here on a July afternoon, with a 2:00 PM ceremony that followed morning preparations at Loews Chicago O’Hare and a private residence in Inverness. From St. Mary, the celebration continued with a two-and-a-half-hour party bus ride to their reception at Loews Chicago O’Hare.
