Welcome!
Welcome to our wedding website - we are so glad you're here! It may have taken us a little longer to get to our wedding day than originally planned, but it will be worth the wait to celebrate with you! Please take a look around for more information about our wedding. From the bottom of our hearts, thank you for joining us on our big day. 
Love, Kevin & Emma

Our Story

We were set up on a blind date by a mutual friend - a regular at the restaurant Emma worked at and a coworker of Kevin's. We met at Emporium arcade bar and to no surprise since Kevin isn't competitive at all, Kevin beat Emma in nearly every game. The next couple of dates, Kevin really pulled out all the stops with a date to a Cubs playoff game and glass tickets to a Blackhawks game. Don't worry, the dates were all downhill after that ;). It wasn't long before Kevin introduced Emma to the lake - the real deal initiation into the Rourke family. Thankfully she liked it, or we probably wouldn't be here today. We took our first of many trips together including Austin, Miami, Whistler, Breckenridge, and San Diego, just to name a few. The past five years have been filled with adventure - skydiving, hiking, trying new restaurants & bars, concerts, snowmobiling, and skiing - and now we are headed into our biggest adventure yet!

Where to Stay

Valet parking is available for $59/night and self-park is available for $45/night. There are other self-park lots available nearby.

Moxy Chicago

Marriott's hip, playful, and modern concept, Moxy's focus is a good time with small but smart rooms, stylish communal spaces, and a bar you'll love (which doubles as their front desk with a complimentary drink upon check in!). 
Discounted rates of $109 are available by booking under the Hickey/Rourke Wedding block using the link above. Rates end November 5th.

Aloft River North

Marriott's bright and modern urban-inspired concept, Aloft offers a little bit larger rooms, thoughtful amenities, and the trendy Beatrix restaurant - a great place to grab brunch or a cocktail. 
Discounted rates of $109-119 are available by booking under the Hickey/Rourke Wedding block using the link above. Rates end November 5th.
