A CATHOLIC WEDDING IN CHICAGO AT ST. MARY OF THE ANGELS, A CHURCH THAT SIMPLY ELEVATED THE HEART EVERYWHERE YOU LOOK, WITH TOUCHES OF JESUS, MARY, & JOSEPH.
Sean and Christina met on Hinge in 2022! Sean was living in Milwaukee, and Christina was in Chicago, so they had a long-ish distance relationship before getting married. Their day was full of prayer, family heirlooms, joyous celebration, and hints at the Holy Family.
Christina and Sean had many gorgeous and meaningful little details with them throughout the day. Christina’s pearl necklace and earrings were her grandmother’s from her wedding day. The pearl rosary was also an heirloom from her other grandmother. Sean’s ‘Holy Family Hearts’ cufflinks were from The Little Catholic.
The bride and groom met in the basement chapel of the church to finish their Marian devotion before the wedding mass.
“Sancta Maria Angelorum.” St. Mary of the Angels has some of the loveliest paintings I’ve ever seen, and the angels (fitting right?!) all over the place are no exception.
Sometimes at mass, I have a feeling of *knowing* that there are many, many angels and saints filling the church in worship with us. The wedding mass of Christina & Sean was absolutely no exception. 👼🏼⛪️ Peace was thick and joy was palpable.
One part of the wedding day that is especially fun is taking portraits of the couple in the church after everyone else is gone. A big, quiet church to really give space to soak in what has actually just happened. A supernatural union.
A toast to the newlyweds🥂✨
So many sweet details at the gorgeous Abbington Banquets – including an Apostolic Blessing from Pope Francis (!!)
Prayers, joyful children, cake cutting, and fun dancing are just a few highlights from the night.
CONGRATS TO THE HAPPY COUPLE, CHRISTINA & SEAN!
