![]() ![]() Named DIRECT-ELECTRIC® for the electrical connection directly from the key to the valve, this small device remedied all of the difficulties of the pneumatic actions. By 1914, Wicks had perfected their electric action. When difficulties do occur in these actions, repair and service can be incredibly difficult. Such pneumatic actions require frequent total releathering, and are susceptible to dirt, air pollution, changes in weather, moisture, and the winding and layout of the organ must be designed with the action in mind, not the pipework, or the amount of space available to the organ. There are surviving examples of their work today, but John Wick thought that surely an organ could be operated purely electrically, avoiding the difficulties of pneumatic actions. The Wicks initially used all mechanical action, but with the advent of electricity and electric blowers, began to experiment with electro-pneumatic actions. By 1908, the three Wicks incorporated the Wicks Organ Company, and began producing pipe organs for homes and churches in Illinois, Indiana, Missouri, and eventually almost every state in the country. The Wicks created more of their instruments, and interest in organs built right here in Illinois grew. It wasn't long before nearby churches heard of their work, and wanted the same for their growing parishes. Tion instrument that successfully met the needs of their church. Using their talents as a watchmaker, a cabinet maker, and a jeweler, the three Wicks created a small mechanical ac Soon the parish wanted a new pipe organ to replace their aging reed organ, so John Wick, with the help of his brothers, Louis and Adolph, started to work.

Since her dad had passed and she wasn’t able to have a father daughter dance on her wedding day, Kelsey’s had a special dance with all the important men the shaped her life, as well as her momma. They definitely did the right thing! The venue is not only gorgeous, but so well run. They were one of the first couples to book the venue as it was being remodeled, and they put their faith in the fact that it would turn out perfect. □ Kelsey and Chris’s reception was at the incredible Old Wick’s Factory in Highland IL. ![]() lol If you’re gonna request a ‘3 generations of married couples’ photo, I’m gonna request that you kiss for it. Sometimes I think it’s just best to not try to explain the situation, but to just allow you to take it in for yourself. Speaking of hot… These two are so stunning together. They were the right amount of fun and cooperation, but in all honesty I’m pretty sure they just did what we said so they could get back to the air conditioning and cold beverages as soon as possible because good lawd it was hot. And it certainly turned out perfectly! Love the way they all look together!

Enjoy a peek at their beautiful day!īeing the weekend of the 4th of July, the two had a subtle nod to red white and blue with a glitz and glam twist. On 7/6/19 the cocktails and celebration was a bit more elaborate, as Kelsey and Chris said “I do”. As he knelt there for what felt like an eternity without saying anything, Kelsey finally asked “Are you going to ask me or not?” Eventually he did, and they celebrated with gas station wine that her brother in law bought since he was in charge of the celebratory cocktails. So on Thanksgiving weekend with Kelsey’s family around them, Chris got down on one knee with a ring and… smiled silently. They dated for 4 years, but Chris will attest he knew she was “the one” a month in. It wasn’t love at first sight, but it was a love that grew and developed over time into something strong and beautiful.
