This one's juuuuuuuust right
We’ve been looking at places to have our wedding. We weren’t too picky…just wanted something rustic yet urban, spacious yet cozy, and indoor yet outdoor.
We found four out of six (rustic, spacious, cozy, indoor) in Grayslake, but the outdoor space was pretty barren and in a subdivision, and the suburbs make Sandy cry.
We found four out of six (urban, spacious, cozy, indoor) in the West Loop, but the lack of outdoor space was utter…not even a balcony.
And then.
We found it.
I don’t know how Promontory Point wasn’t at the top of our list, but apparently we were meant to wait, because when we finally saw it, we knew.
It’s got exposed stone walls and wood beam rafters, french doors that open onto a lakefront patio, and it’s in the middle of an enormous and beautiful park. Plus, Sandy will be able to take that mid-wedding swim he has been dreaming of.
And it’s not just in the city. Hell, it’s owned by the city and embroiled in controversy!
It’s perfect.
That previous sentence was supposed to have a link relating to Promontory Point, Utah, which probably wouldn’t be a good place to have a wedding—heck, it turned out that it wasn’t even a good place to complete a transcontinental railroad (it was bypassed within 35 years). But I guess with all these folks trying to tell us about online casinos, we can’t have nice things like hypertext anymore.
