Crate and Barrel's Ultimate Wedding Contest

Our love story.

There was a girl from Madison who didn't know how to skate...but to impress a guy from Chicago she gave it a try… On that fateful day in March she unsteadily crept onto the ice. Around the rink they skated (SLOWLY). Building confidence she decided to go it alone (BAD MOVE)…"DOWN GOES FRASIER". Ignoring the searing pain in her wrist, she rose with the poise of a true champion and continued skating… Feeling excruciating pain radiating from her wrist, we drove to the emergency room....(ALL THE WAY IN MADISON....YEAH THAT'S RIGHT!). Diagnosis: A Broken Wrist And A Case of LOVE!

Three important details about our Ultimate Wedding.

Family and friends are very important to the both of us so we want to make sure that all of our friends and family can come and enjoy a great celebration and not have to travel too far. Both of our families love the outdoors so a location on the lake in Lake Geneva would be perfect. Somewhere outdoors with great food and a dance floor big enough to let 300 people dance the night away. My fiancé would like to use kiwi and fusia as accent colors. For desert, something simple and non-traditional. Cheesecake with Kiwi and Raspberries.

Our everyday dream day.

We live apart from each other and have commuted between Chicago, IL and Madison, WI each weekend for two years to be together. Our perfect day will be the first time we can come home to each other, sit down for dinner and go to bed with each other. Just the two of us, no Skype and no cell phones
