Damon's DJ mix from our Friday night arcade event is now available for listening here. Our route for the Sunday bus tour is here.

We want to give some vendor shoutouts. All of these people were wonderful to work with. Our food was from Irazu Costa Rican Restaurant, a place in Bucktown that Eve's family has been going to since she was about 9 years old, back when they were just a walk-up order window. We love them and we hope you did too. Our coordinator was La Toya Keys of Elle Kay Events, and her team was phenomenal. They took a lot of stress off of us and we were really in good hands. Our flowers came from Zenia Ruiz at Flor del Monte, who was a dream and made designs that truly fit our event and our personalities. Our honey favors came from Bike A Bee, from south side hives cared for by urban farmer Jana Kinsman. The labels were designed by Damon :) Eve, Amanda, Doris, and Sylvia had their makeup done by j. st. jaimes, who is also a brilliant stylist. Eve, Leila, Dylan, and Amanda had their hair done by Jae Hudson, who specializes as a consultant for natural hair health. Eve's earrings and bracelets were handmade in Brooklyn by Alicia Goodwin. Damon and Kwame's bowties were custom-made in Chicago by Peter Gaona. Our photographer was Sarah Yoder of Laurel + Prairie and our videographer was Ivan Gomez of Modern Wedding Films. Eve's dresses were tailored by Silver Moon.

In lieu of a ring to celebrate our engagement, we launched the Ewing-Jones Scholarship to send a Chicago public high school student to study at the W.E.B. Du Bois Scholars Institute housed at Princeton University. You can learn more about the program here and support the scholarship either by giving via our registry or by making a direct donation to the program here, with "Ewing-Jones Scholarship" specified in the comment box.
