Our Wedding

Our paths initially crossed in January 2024 in the unlikely place of a Sunday evening Bible study group that went by the name "Acts 2". An unlikely place because the group primarily consisted of young adults who attended Abundant Life and met in the Northland area, a church of which Micah did not attend and Austin lived quite a ways away from Northland KC. Nevertheless, the two found themselves in fairly regular attendance at Acts 2 and slowly got to know each other week-by-week. Things took a turn midway through the month of May when what began as a quick question about Dungeons &amp; Dragons (hence the namesake of the title above) at the end of the group meeting turned into a lengthy discussion of discovered shared hobbies and interests between the two that stretched on until everyone else had left and they were politely asked to leave. The following week in Acts 2, many of the members of Acts 2 (Micah and Austin included) discovered a shared interest in kayaking which resulted in Micah planning a kayaking trip a few weeks out for group members. Then what began initially as inquiries about the trip from Austin to Micah later turned into many evenings leading up to the trip with the two exchanging messages and getting to know each other more than the small talk at group they otherwise shared. However, when the time of the kayaking trip came around the first week of June, the others either forgot about the trip or were unable to attend, leaving Micah and Austin as the only two who showed up. Still wanting to commit to the venture (and later confessing a shared interest in wanting to spend more time getting to know the other), they set out together in a tandem kayak at Guy B Park in Platte City, MO for several hours and after dropping off the kayaks went out to have dinner together. Soon after the kayaking trip, Austin arranged a reservation at Smokehouse BBQ for the two to have dinner together again on June 13th where he formally asked Micah to date him. Her answer to this will be left as an exercise to the reader. After this point the two wasted no time in talking about the big, deep, and important topics and questions about their beliefs, hopes, desires, and aspirations. Finding through that process mutual compatibility and further adoration and respect for the other. By early August, with an engagement ring in-hand Austin sat down with Micah's father to formally request permission to marry his daughter. With the ring and the family's blessing, on August 11th after attending Sunday church service together, Austin drove the two back up to Guy B Park Lake where they spent their first evening together and proposed to Micah. Seeing as you are reading a wedding invitation for the two, you can probably guess how she answered.
