A Wedding to Remember at The Ivy Room – Arielle & Ty
June 2019 marked a beautiful milestone for Arielle & Ty, as they exchanged vows and began their journey as a married couple. The Ivy Room, nestled in the heart of Chicago, set the perfect stage for their heartfelt and joyous wedding. From their charming love story to the thoughtful details of their ceremony, every moment reflected the essence of love, family, and togetherness.
A Love Rooted in Tradition
Arielle & Ty’s journey began with a first date straight out of a romantic movie: a barn dance during their undergraduate years. This quaint beginning laid the foundation for a relationship built on shared values, laughter, and mutual respect. Years later, Ty popped the question at an apple orchard, a nod to their love of nature and simplicity. Surrounded by their families who joined in celebrating the joyous news, the proposal set the tone for a wedding centered on love and connection.
An Interfaith Celebration
As an interfaith couple, Arielle & Ty thoughtfully crafted a ceremony that honored their backgrounds while embracing their shared future. The presence of both sets of parents, who have built enduring marriages of their own, served as a testament to the values of commitment and partnership. Incorporating these familial influences, Arielle and Ty’s wedding was a celebration of unity—not just of two individuals, but of two families coming together.
Their ceremony included traditions that carried deep significance. Under a beautifully adorned chuppah, they exchanged vows, symbolizing the home they will build together. The breaking of the glass, a poignant Jewish tradition, marked the end of the ceremony with a joyous burst of cheers and applause. These meaningful elements highlighted their dedication to honoring their roots while looking ahead to their future.
Words to Live By
Arielle and Ty chose to incorporate a reading of Union by Robert Fulghum into their ceremony. This timeless piece beautifully captured the spirit of their partnership—a union built on love, trust, and the promise of facing life’s adventures together. The words resonated deeply with the couple and their guests, adding a personal and emotional touch to the ceremony.
A Venue Filled with Love
The Ivy Room provided an elegant backdrop & urban sophistication for the day’s events. Friends and family gathered to celebrate, filling the space with laughter, joy, and heartfelt toasts. Arielle & Ty, I hope the last 5.5 years have given you an abundance of blessings, growing as individuals & as a family, and making your family’s love & happiness a priority!
