Michelle and Krishna had a full 18 months of wedding celebrations ahead of them but they couldn't wait!

It was an intimate affair with close family and friends, hosted at the Medinah Country Club. Fortunately the interior has stunning architecture to stir the creative mind because it was FREEZING out on their wedding day.
