Elizabeth and Sam had a spring wedding in Naperville, and for the most part, dodged the spring showers. Though, Giorgio did give his Italian blessing befitting such days, "sposa bagnata, sposa fortunata," which means: wet bride, lucky bride. The ceremony was at St. Raphael Catholic Church, which has fantastic natural light and is amazingly well designed for a modern church (meaning, it does not look like it was designed by Mike Brady circa 1970s like a lot of "modern" churches....sorry, but don't a lot of them look like they were based on the Brady bunch house? Or is that just me?) Anyway, St. Raphael doesn't fall into that stereotype, it is lovely. Their reception was at the fantastic Danada House, which was built in 1939, and includes a horse stable and wide open spaces where the horses roam. It was the home farm of the 1965 Kentucky Derby winner "Lucky Debonaire." I would say Beth and Sam have certainly started their marriage off with lots lo luck!
