“It was a culmination of love, family, laughter, and the promise of a lifetime together — a testament to our enduring love story,” said the bride.
Smashing Pumpkins lead singer Billy Corgan and Maison Atia designer Chloe Mendel first met through a mutual friend, and after eleven years of dating — and two children — he proposed on her 30th birthday at their home in Highland Park, Illinois.
Exactly one year and six days later, the couple stood once again on the grounds of their home among friends and family to say their wedding vows this past weekend. “It is the very place where we had celebrated my 30th, and where our two precious children had taken their first breaths — yes, we had home births!” Chloe says. “Our home, a timeless sanctuary nestled by the lake, had always been the heart of our love story and our family.”. “It was a dream to create our intimate wedding,” Chloe says.
At 3:30 p.m., the bride walked down the aisle to music played by Mike Garson, the famed pianist of David Bowie. Highland Park Mayor Nancy Rotering served as the officiant, and the couple’s children stood as witnesses. After opening remarks from the mayor, Chloe and Billy read vows they’d written themselves, then exchanged rings they’d designed in collaboration with Graziela Gems. At the end of the service, Billy broke a glass in honour of Chloe’s Jewish heritage.
While the bride and groom took pictures, guests retired to a historic Jens Jensen fountain area on the property for drinks and hors d’oeuvres while a harpist played in the background. As cocktail hour concluded, guests discovered their seating assignments in the English rose garden, then a path winding through a pumpkin patch led them to the tented dinner area.
