  4. God, so beautiful. My first choice venue is the Field Museum here in Chicago. This makes me determined to scrape together enough money to have it there! I still have well over a year and haven’t booked a venue yet…

  5. aw, my grandpa was a docent at that museum; it was one of my favorite places when i was a wee lass. such a lovely idea!

  12. I LOVE IT!!! I’m looking and searching and wishing for a wedding in a museum of some sort although I doubt our budget will allow. But this, this is too freakin cool!

  13. This is seriously my dream wedding. Wow. I am frequently cynical, but boy am I happy to live in a world where someone is awesome enough to put dinosaurs on their wedding invites. Love this!

  14. OH! I saw this one before! Matt Nolan uploaded some pictures to his flickr 😀

    I still think the bit with the lights and the dinosaur skeletons is amazing

  15. I think I’m kinda jealous of you! I’m a science teacher…I want a wedding at the Chicago Field Museum! Great idea and I’m glad you were able to do it! I’m still jealous, though! 🙂

  16. That is so creative and awesome, an event everyone who attended will remember for a long while.
