Charlie's brother officiated the wedding.
Natalie basically predicted the Cubs' World Series win, with the below vows.
Natalie's Vows: Charlie today I take you as my husband and my best friend. It makes me happy that being with you makes me excited about life. You are a special person that I’m lucky to have met, and I love you with all of my heart. I know that by marrying you I will have a permanent partner that I can smile with on every adventure we take, and will be by my side for the rest of my life.
For the rest of both of our lives:
I promise to make smiles and laughter an essential part of our relationship.
I promise to always tell you the truth.
I promise to always be my true self and be the person you continue to love.
I promise to be your ally in life through everything… even when it’s not easy.
I promise to always cheer for the Chicago Cubs with you, and believe they will win a World Series
Most of all I promise to love you AND be a true best friend to you forever.”
Chalie’s vows: It would take all night to tell you how the last 10 years, 4 months and 5 days have been the greatest of my life, mostly because I speak so slowly.
Instead, I want to tell you how much I look forward to all of the decades ahead we will share.
The reason is, the ring I put on your finger means we will never be apart, making life an exciting adventure, which is how I've felt every day since the first time we met and instantly fell in love.
The ring also means I will always be there for you, to provide love, support, and safety – things I have tried to show you every day the last ten years. I promise to always be truthful, and open-minded to the exuberant way you live, which has always made you so special to me.
Even though we have already experienced so much, I promise today is only the beginning, and what comes next, whatever that may be, will be an even more amazing journey together.
