Our Wedding

We first met during our senior year of high school through a student organization. At the kickoff event, we were asked to line up by birthday, and wouldn’t you know it, we shared the exact same one. Same day, same year… same hospital! That unexpected moment sparked something special, and we started dating soon after. Life took us in different directions for college, but a few years later, we found our way back to each other and this time, it stuck.Over the years, our relationship has grown through countless little moments: laughing together, spending time with the people we love, and quiet evenings at home with our dogs. It’s those simple, everyday things that have made our life together so full and meaningful.Jack proposed at his family’s lake house, surrounded by our closest friends and family. It was a place that already meant so much to us, and getting engaged there, cheered on by the people we love most, made it all the more unforgettable.This wedding has been a long time coming, and we couldn’t be more excited to celebrate this next chapter with all of our favorite people!

Things to Do

While you’re in town, we hope you take some time to explore Austin! We’ve put together a list of our favorite spots—great food, local gems, and uniquely Austin experiences we love. Whether you're here for a day or making a weekend of it, there's plenty to enjoy!

Restaurants

An Austin institution since 1952, Matt’s is loud, lively, and full of flavor. Locals swear by the Bob Armstrong Dip and the Knockout Martinis live up to their name. If you’re craving classic Tex-Mex and a fun, bustling atmosphere, this is the place. Jenny's favorite Tex-Mex!

Matt's El Rancho

This hidden gem serves up cozy, old-school Tex-Mex that’s as comforting as it is delicious. The enchiladas are the main event, but everything on the menu hits the spot. The margaritas might just be the best in town! It’s casual, affordable, and feels like you’re stepping into a neighborhood favorite because you are. Jack's favorite Tex-Mex!

Enchiladas Y Mas

This South Congress staple serves up New York–style pizza with serious attitude. Whether you're grabbing a quick slice at the walk-up window or sitting down for a full pie, it’s consistently delicious and full of Austin charm. The crust is thin, the vibes are casual, and the garlic knots are non-negotiable.

Home Slice Pizza

Old-school and proud of it, Sandy’s has been slinging burgers, crinkle-cut fries, and frozen custard since the 1940s. It’s drive-in style with no frills, just great prices and nostalgic flavor. The perfect quick stop for a classic burger and a soft-serve swirl on a warm day.

Sandy's Hamburgers

Colorful, quirky, and unapologetically Austin. This local smoothie chain is a go-to for post-walk refreshment or a morning pick-me-up. Whatever you choose, you’ll leave feeling a little more energized (and a lot more local). Jenny's Pick - Julio VerdeJack's Pick - Home Run

JuiceLand

A go-to neighborhood spot known for its big portions, friendly service, and reliably delicious food. While the breakfast tacos are a crowd favorite, the menu also features stacked sandwiches, fresh salads, and plenty of comfort food classics. It’s casual, quick, and always full of regulars.

Texas Honey Ham Company

Activities

A must-see for anyone visiting Austin. This comedy variety show on Sixth Street blends sketch comedy, magic, musical numbers, and hilarious political satire. The performers play off the crowd and the street outside the giant picture windows, making every show a little different and totally unforgettable. Perfect for a night out with friends or family.

Esther's Follies

Spend a few hours exploring one of Austin’s most iconic streets. South Congress is lined with local boutiques, vintage stores, coffee shops, restaurants, and murals perfect for a photo op. Grab a drink, listen to live music, and soak up the funky, stylish side of the city.

South Congress Shopping

Every evening around sunset, more than a million bats take off from under the Congress Avenue Bridge in one of the most unique natural sights you’ll ever see. Bring a blanket and watch from the lawn below or find a spot along the bridge to see the sky fill with fluttering wings. It’s weird, magical, and pure Austin.

Ann W. Richards Congress Avenue Bat Bridge

Outdoors

Zilker is Austin’s most beloved park, full of wide open lawns, skyline views, and people out enjoying the sunshine. Families will love riding the Zilker Eagle, a miniature train that loops through the park with plenty of charm. Whether you want to picnic, toss a frisbee, or just relax under a tree, this is the spot.

Zilker Metropolitan Park

Take a walk around Austin’s downtown lake for some fresh air and great views. The trail is well-kept and full of locals jogging, biking, or strolling with their dogs. It’s a great way to stretch your legs, spot some turtles, and take in the city’s energy.

Lady Bird Lake Hike & Bike Trail

A true Austin treasure. This massive spring-fed pool is crystal clear and refreshingly chilly, even in the Texas heat. Bring a towel, find a sunny patch of grass, and go for a swim in one of the most beautiful natural spots in the city.

Barton Springs Pool

A serene, tucked-away garden filled with peacocks, koi ponds, and shaded walking trails. Say hello to the colorful birds and explore the quiet pathways.

Mayfield Park and Nature Preserve

A quick climb up a short staircase rewards you with one of the best views in Austin. It’s a fun, light adventure for anyone who likes exploring and a great spot for a family photo with the city and lake in the background.

Mount Bonnell Lookout

Kid Friendly

Austin’s hands-on children’s museum is packed with interactive exhibits focused on science, art, and technology. There are water play areas, climbing zones, and tons of ways to learn while having fun. Great for younger kids and curious minds.

Thinkery

Located downtown, Toy Joy is a quirky, colorful toy store full of fun gifts and gadgets — paired with Yummi Joy next door, an old-school candy and ice cream shop. Kids can pick a treat and a toy in one stop.

Toy Joy

This casual café has a big outdoor patio that overlooks one of the best playgrounds in the city. Parents can relax with coffee or a bite while kids play nearby. Easy, convenient, and very family-friendly.

Central Market Cafe & Playground

A beloved Austin classic that’s been around since the 1940s, this quirky mini golf course is full of colorful statues, giant dinosaurs, and just the right amount of chaos. It’s BYOB for the grown-ups and pure fun for the kids, making it a great stop for families or groups looking for something playful and very Austin.

Peter Pan Mini-Golf

This sweet little train offers a relaxing ride through Zilker Park with views of open fields, big trees, and downtown in the distance. Kids love it and adults get a chance to slow down and enjoy the scenery. It’s a simple pleasure that’s been part of Austin memories for generations.
