Kelly & Osama's Wedding

Well this spring was a bit of a whirlwind. In late December 2012 I was living in Chicago and was blessed to get engaged to an Egyptian living in St Louis. I moved to St Louis and started a job in St Louis at the end of January and we set the date for our Chicago reception on 4/14/13 to be in a small private room at Reza's (a middle-eastern restaurant) in Oak Brook (a Chicago suburb). Two weeks before the Chicagoland reception, we would be returning from a 3-week trip from Egypt which was to include a wedding celebration and a 1-week honeymoon. And in February we had to get legally married so the Egyptian consulate would have enough time to prep our legal paperwork for Egypt. Our timeline was clearly short since we only had a 3.5 month engagement before our Chicagoland reception and would be gone 3 weeks during that time and I was starting a new job and moving into my new apartment, but honestly, I never got stressed - because the worst that could happen is that a detail that people didn't even know about would be missing for the reception.
