A Valentine’s Day snowstorm in Chicago nearly derailed Tim’s proposal plans. Quick thinking forced the North Campus-area bartender to switch from a fountain near the site of Lollapalooza—a music festival the two attended together—to the art museum. It was just as special, said Jackie, as both art and music play a big part in their relationship. Their May 21, 2011 wedding was sprinkled with personal touches that proved that: tables named after favorite festivals and concert venues, concert ticket seating cards and a ceremony hosted by a mutual friend who read notes written on the Beatles The White Album. Another special element? A flower Jackie wore in her hair that was made of lace from her mother’s wedding dress. “I wanted my big, girly, classy wedding,” Jackie said. “We knew we wanted an outdoor wedding, but not a garden wedding. We wanted it modern and that’s why we chose COSI. I loved that we could see the city skyline.”
