A classmate from grammar school that became a great friend. She's always up for a fun night out, like Diner en Blanc in downtown Chicago (pictured). Favorite pastimes include: attending Cubs games, telling puns and devouring tubs of Merkts cheese with Tim. Hey Julie - “What time did the man go to the dentist? Tooth hurt-y!”

Friends from the days when Patryk didn't smile in photos all the way back in high school. Sylvia is a fashion guru and a DJ, loves long discussions on obscure topics, and won't shy away from some chicken liver pate. In fact, she makes her own version!

An amazing brother-in-law and an even better cook. If you think you make the best chili, you are wrong. It's that guy on the left. The guy on the right loves eating that chili. 

Patryk's slightly less handsome older brother. An avid kite surfer, Dawid will travel halfway around the world just to catch some good wind. And when he's back home in Chicago, you will always find him around town doing something fun (like doing handstands).

A gem of an individual Tim met while studying in Paris. Erin used to be our favorite reason to visit New York City. She's now moved back to her homeland to the North and will be our favorite excuse to visit Toronto. Her favorite thing about Chicago, besides us, are micheladas!

Greg went to high school with Pat, but they didn't become close friends until college. In fact, unbeknownst to either of them, they both pledged the same fraternity. (Yes, Pat was in a frat.) Greg is the guy who gets along with everybody and will always be there when you need him.

Tim's close friend from Boston College and world traveling companion, Elizabeth has the distinction of suffering Tim's antics in cities all around the world: New York, Paris, Boston, Sonoma, Madrid, Strasburg. And most recently in Chicago, where she came to earn her MBA and would spend many a weekend with us. She's back in Boston now -- and recently engaged herself!

Dude, how have we known each other since 1999 and I could not find a single photo of just the two of us? That is why you get this ridiculous picture from when you borrowed Mary's necklace. Maybe it has something to do with you being too cool for social media. Let's make an effort and get a couple shots together at this wedding thing. Yes and a couple of photos too. -Pat
