Our Wedding

After a series of frustrating dating misadventures, Franchesca and Jordan both decided to put their faith in that most modern of matchmakers: an internet algorithm. From their very first date — whacking tiny balls across manicured, fake grass — the connection was immediate. Jordan was quickly smitten with Franchesca’s brilliant smile and razor-sharp wit. Franchesca, for her part, was mesmerized by Jordan’s uncanny ability to flawlessly rap 90s hip-hop classics while sinking hole-in-ones around windmills and spinning clown heads. Talent is talent. At the end of their four-hour mini-golf marathon, Franchesca graciously suggested that Jordan might want her phone number — a subtle but necessary nudge. And just like that, the love story began to bloom. Since then, Jordan has brought the wild ideas; Franchesca, the calendar and color-coded execution plan. Over the next 20 months, they racked up a solid list of firsts: they go-karted through the streets of Tokyo, caught a Broadway show, rode a horse-drawn carriage through Central Park, dabbled in horticulture (with mixed results), completed dozens of house projects, and logged an impressive number of hours on movie and TV marathons. The common thread? Adventure and learning — two things they both cherish. Bonus points if snacks are involved. Then, on June 22, 2025, Jordan shocked Franchesca by dropping to one knee in Omaha — the land of steaks, college baseball dreams, and now, a memory for the ages. There was a long beat of stunned silence, followed by Franchesca blurting out, “Yes, of course!” — before realizing Jordan hadn’t technically asked the question yet. (Minor detail.) We can't wait to share the next chapter of this story with all of you — hopefully filled with great food, better music, and more than a few questionable dance moves. And after the big day, we hope you’ll stick around for many years to come. We’ve got plenty more adventures planned.

Our Adventure

Our Story

Photos

AKA: Wedding HQ. Stroll the grounds, admire 1800s architecture, and maybe get a sneak peek at where we’re tying the knot. It’s picturesque, peaceful, and no, you can’t crash our rehearsal.

Farmers Branch Historical Park

Yes, it’s outdoors. No, it’s not just trees. Think hiking trails, bird-watching, fishing, and the vague feeling you're starring in a wholesome REI commercial. Bring bug spray if your blood is as delicious as Franchesca's. Be a pro and climb up the berm to view Lake Lewisville.

LLELA Nature Preserve

The place where it all began. Mini golf for grown-ups—with cocktails, vibey lighting, and zero chance of a screaming toddler in lane three. It's like TopGolf had a hipster cousin who studied interior design.

Puttery

Sports lover? Foodie? Music fan? Just here for the vibes? Whatever you're into, this place delivers. Imagine massive screens showing the big game, the smell of smoked brisket in the air, ice-cold drinks in your hand, and just steps away from Globe Life Field and AT&amp;T Stadium. It’s easy to see why this one earned a spot on our list.

Texas Live!

Check out the cattle drive, twice a day, with longhorns. Great for boots, brews, and the kind of saloons that make you question your city lifestyle. Yeehaw.

Fort Worth Stockyards

Home to the DMA, the Nasher, and enough modern art to make you pretend you “get it.” A great spot to feel cultured and then immediately ruin it with a giant soft pretzel.

Dallas Arts District
