THE COUPLE Morgan Krahmer and Jack Klein met during the first semester of their first year of college. “Jack asked for my number under the guise of forming a study group,” Morgan says. “We were officially dating by winter and have been together since.” In March 2022, Jack proposed at Folktale Winery on vacation in California.
THE DETAILS They battled the wind in a lakeside ceremony at Lake Shore Country Club in Jack’s hometown of Glencoe. “My maid of honor did an expert job standing on my veil to hold it in place,” Morgan says with a laugh. Their Jewish ceremony included traditions like breaking of the glass.
THE PARTY“I love dark, moody fall weddings, so we wanted to balance our summer date with some moody and romantic touches,” Morgan says of the black-and-white decor, which had pops of blush, burgundy and taupe. At the reception, guests hit the checkered dance floor, smoked cigars on the patio and had their portraits sketched by a live artist. “Embrace the chaos of it all,” Jack says of planning. “It’s all for the love of each other and a wedding that will be spectacular.”
Hanging floral installations incorporated the moody color palette of black, white and burgundy with touches of blush and taupe.
