FAQ!
What kind of wedding is it going
to be?
It's going to be a Jewish wedding! Rabbi Paul Cohen of Temple Jeremiah will be officiating.
Is Luke a Jewish name?
Not exactly, in fact, it's a Christian name. Luke was raised at St. Luke's Episcopal church in Evanston. Over the years, Nicki has taught him a lot about Judaism and the history of the Jewish people. He is honored and very excited to be having a Jewish wedding.
What's for dinner?
Prepare for some great food! Nicki and Luke, both vegetarians, searched Chicago high and low for a caterer that could provide a really yummy all vegetarian meal. Well, we found one, so if vegetarian fare is not usually your cup-of-tea, no need to fret, we promise you'll love it.
Is Nicki changing her name?
She considered changing it to Nikki just so people would finally be spelling it correctly. But she changed her mind and decided to keep it just the way it is.
Why are you getting married in a library?
Nicki has always been a bit of a bookworm and her father is a U.S. Presidential historian who loves the portrait of Lincoln in the library's foyer. What more does one need? But seriously, we just think it's a beautiful building and a perfect place for a wedding.
How do I get to the Newberry Library?
See the Info! page for directions and other helpful information.

Nicki and Luke are registered at Crate & Barrel and Marshall Field's.

Why is your website called "Lunics.org"?
The word Lunics is derived from our names lu(ke)nic(ki)s. Notice that the first half of the word is one color and the second half is another. The ".org" is a domain type reserved for not-for-profit organizations, which is a category we can relate to because both of us work for non-profit organizations.
