Danielle and Ryan wanted a quick City Hall wedding in Chicago, and then some stops at some of their favorite places. The only guests were their parents, who tagged along to each location. There was even a stop at their apartment to check in on their dog! We ended the day with some bowling at their favorite bowling alley.
