Crista and Bill in Chicago, IL

A vibrant art exhibit provides a spectacular inspiration point for the style of one couple's celebration.

Crista and Bill were introduced by a mutual friend in 2004, soon after the bride moved to Chicago. "My friend Rachel said she knew someone in the city I should meet—she thought we'd hit it off," says Crista. "She actually said, 'Wait, I think he might love you—seriously,' which was a little scary, but she was right. He did love me and it turned out I loved him, too."
