Our Wedding

Our story began at Southern Miss in Summer 2018. We were both working on campus as part of the Conference and Events Staff. After we realized both of our birthdays were in the summer, we became best friends along with Kourtney Harris. We developed our own friend group and were the best of friends for the next two years. In Summer 2020, we reconnected again by traveling to Mobile, Alabama for a friend's birthday celebration. A pretty turbulent thunderstorm allowed us to get to know each other on a deeper level. As that fall approached, Usama invited me over for a dinner party. After that spectacular afternoon, we both knew it was only a matter of time. After watching Ted the movie and a trip to WingStop, he asked me to be his girlfriend, the rest was history!"

Travel

You can dive deeper into the city’s jazz history at the American Jazz Museum. While you’re there, you might wanna stick around for a live jazz session at the Blue Room. Grab a table, order a cocktail, and listen in on local artists.

The Blue Room

The museum itself is free, and it’s totally worth a visit. The grounds are stunning, and they’re completely open to the public. Whether you want to have a picnic on the lawn or play a game of putt-putt every Friday!

The Nelson-Atkins Museum of Art

This place is a one-stop-shop for restaurants, clothing stores, and bars! You could spend hours roaming this 16 block plaza and nobody would blame you! After a long day of shopping, refuel with dinner on the patio of Parkway Social Kitchen, then head to their hidden wine bar on the basement floor!

Country Club Plaza

Boulevard Brewing Company is an iconic brewery, and you can learn all about its inception on a daily tour. These tours are offered every hour, and you can sign up once you arrive. You’ll end the hour and a half long tour with two samples of their local beer. Cheers to that!
