Crate and Barrel's Ultimate Wedding Contest

Our love story.

It started on a cruise ship...in a crowded bar in Germany he was the only one I saw; when docked in Miami I was the one on his mind; then one year later we told each other how we really felt in Hawaii. Back on solid ground and three years later, I was sent on a scavenger hunt through our hometown, Chicago. From a Germany restaurant to a Hawaiian joint all to reminisce about our time passed. At the end there he was; it was not the end of my experience but the beginning of a whole new one!

Three important details about our Ultimate Wedding.

Our ultimate wedding would be in the French Quarter of New Orleans. The wedding would be jam-packed with all the Southern/New Orleanais traditions; a traditional second line parade thru the French Quarter to celebrate our marriage with everyone, a ribbon pull from the cake for all the ladies and a big band to sing and dance us into the night.

Our everyday dream day.

Our dream day would certainty start with sleeping in! Then out for some fresh air by taking a stroll along the beach. We would find a nice spot to watch the locals bring in the days catch as we eat some sandwiches picked up from the bodega and sip some locally brewed beers. Later, we would have a romantic dinner by candlelight eating fresh sea food and drinking a bottle of wine. After we chat a bit under the stars it would be back to bed. Oh…did I mention we would wake up in Costa Rica!
