the distance from here to chicago is seeming shorter and shorter every day. and these two have a great deal to do with that growing feeling that chicago becoming a welcoming backyard. rachelle and tyler have been together for some time...just ask any one of their seemingly endless number of friends and you will quickly learn that this wedding day was an exciting point on the horizon for so so many. and to think that they allowed me to share it with them is quite amazing...a stranger, from michigan, little old nathan. but truly, these two exude a deep love for those in their lives and a sincere willingness to welcome newcomers into the fold. and welcomed i felt!

t&r - thank you for your friendship. you two were absolutely stunning on your wedding day. what a fabulous celebration! i couldn't help but dance*
