A Chicago Love Story

Love Story

Dec 2

On December 4, 2022, Erica and Anton will gather with loved ones to exchange vows at The Penthouse Hyde Park in Chicago, IL.

Erica and Anton first met and became friends in high school. Although most people thought that they were dating, their relationship was just a deep friendship. When it came time to go to college, they were accepted at different schools. They went their separate ways and lost touch for many years.

They reconnected in 2015 online and hit it off immediately. They picked up right where they left off and have been together ever since. This past year, Anton unfortunately started having some concerning health issues. He went to the doctor and was sadly diagnosed with an aggressive form of prostate cancer that had spread to his lymph nodes. His doctor is in the process of formulating a treatment plan, which will begin soon after their wish.

We loved meeting this sweet couple and are excited to grant their wish for a wedding. We teamed up with our friend Bristol Echeverria of Sustainable Soirees and are looking forward to watching this ‘old Hollywood’ themed wish unfold.

Bristol has assembled an impressive team of wish granters who have already gone above and beyond to bless our couple with the wedding of their dreams.

All of love and thanks to this wonderful crew:
