Our Wedding

Kaitlyn and Darians love story is one with a lot of twist and turns that lead to undeniable happiness and endless love that grows every day for each other. Their love story began in 2015 when they were 10/11 years old when Kaitlyns cousin and Darians brother were dating and her cousin brought Darian to a family get together and it was love at first site. They were too young at the time to realize it was true love. A few years later in January of 2018 Kaitlyn couldnt help but wonder if there was still something between them so she sent Darian a text and come to find out he was wondering the same thing. then shortly after that they became a couple. As the years went by their love has continued to become stronger and they have become each others best friends. through all their couples trips and late-night video calls to the laughter and even the hard times, They have stuck by each others sides. Then on October 18th, 2024 the next chapter of their lives together began when Darian took Kaitlyn to their favorite restaurant (Luigis) for a late lunch, Darian was so nervous he forgot his wallet at home (Dont worry he remembered the ring) so some sweet old ladies picked up the bill and then before Kaitlyn knew it he was down on one knee asking her to marry him, It was the easiest yes she has ever said. Now as they start their greatest chapter yet, Kaitlyn and Darian are ready to say I do surrounded by their family and friends who have supported and watched their love story every step of the way, They are ready to begin their happily ever after.

We highly recommend checking out our favorite restaurant while in town. Luigi's Italian Restaurant in downtown liberty on the square. They offer an amazing lunch special during the week and all around amazing food and service. it is on the pricer/fancier side. Luigi’s is where Darian proposed to Kaitlyn.There is also a lot of small businesses to shop at around the square.

Wabash in excelsior is a great option for BBQ (the fried mushrooms are to die for) and also is within walking distance of the famous ELMS hotel and spa which offers guided tours on certain days or you can do a self tour for free anytime.
