Phoebe and Sam were married at the First Presbyterian Church of Lake Forest with a reception at the Onwentsia Club following the ceremony. The bride was the fifth generation to wear the Newell family veil, which dates back to 1889, and the couple cut their cake with Leonidas Polk’s sword from the Civil War. At sunset, the father of the bride surprised the couple with a special bagpipe performance by the City of Chicago Pipe Band and fireworks. The couple’s first dance was to “Drift Away” by Dobie Gray, which was performed by childhood friends of the bride Katherine DePree Belcher and Spencer DePree. After the wedding, the couple went on their honeymoon to the British Virgin Islands.
