Our Wedding

We Met Speed Dating.

We aren't joking! We met at table 13 at a Kansas City speed dating event in June 2024. We talked for three minutes that first night, and then for three hours on our first date a few weeks later. The rest, more or less, is history. Please enjoy the photo timeline showing some of our better highlights over the last almost-two years.

Q + A

Kansas City International Airport (MCI) is the closest airport and is about a 25–30 minute drive or Uber/Lyft ride to downtown Kansas City. Our ceremony and reception locations are a short ride from our hotel room blocks, and getting around is easy by car or rideshare. The KC Streetcar also provides an easy (and free!) option for traveling between the hotels and the church.

We’ve secured room blocks at the hotels listed below for your convenience, but you are welcome to stay anywhere you wish. Due to the World Cup taking place in Kansas City later in June, we advise you to make travel &amp; lodging plans as soon as practicable.
