When your bride says all she wants is a black and white checkered dance floor, you design the entire wedding around it!

Instead of cutting a wedding cake, Áine & Josh poured champagne over (you guessed it) crystal coupes and toasted the friends and family who traveled to celebrate with them (no one, including the bride and groom, are from Chicago!).
