Our Wedding

<p>It started with a date, not our date. A date between our two best friends... and an extra invitation for Kayenne. Then an invitation for William, so that Chris would not have to be the third wheel on his own date. After that, there was goofing around in Walmart, at the bowling alley, playing Kingdom Hearts, and anxiety about meth cooking in rural Missouri. Then there was our first date. We saw the movie Rango. Neither of us paid any attention, we were too busy making dumb jokes. Before we knew it, we were together almost every day. There were two proms and then a high school graduation. Then, there was a terrible loss... Our relationship stayed strong. Kayenne moved away to college in a tiny town, three hours away. There was a year of long-distance filled with trips back and forth, thousands of miles driven. Late night phone calls. And when we were together trips to the movies and the lake and Nurhachi. After a year, William decided moving to Kirksville, Missouri couldn't be thaaaaat bad. There was a tiny, rinky-dink apartment. And then the happiest little pupper-schnup. There were a lot of adventures, but mostly there was sitting on the most comfortable couch in the Midwest (frightfully ugly, unfortunately) and watching Netflix. There was also platinum-ing on Destiny, Naruto: Ultimate Ninja Storm 4, Bloodborne, Dark Souls 2, The Division, and Dark Souls 3. After five years and eight months, there was an awkward, but wonderful proposal in that small apartment. Everything started happening very quickly then. There was a college graduation in the middle of an ice storm. A big move to Kansas City and several months where neither of us knew what we were doing. Then after what seemed like ages, our lives started sorting themselves out. We had good jobs. Another small apartment, much nicer than the one in K-Vegas. So now, after more seven years, we will have a wedding... </p>

It's Been a Long Time Coming...

Our Story

Autumn and Kayenne met in Ms. Duran's 5th grade class at Mid-Buchanan and have been best friends for 12 years. They worked through their emo phases together and have way too many inside jokes and "remember that time''s. Now when they hang out they love to drink wine and talk the nitty gritty of true crime.&nbsp;

Joseph is both my Brother and one of my best Friends. we didn't really see eye to eye growing up but as we went into high school he was one of the people i looked forward to seeing most because when we worked together we really accomplished a lot. together in JROTC i don t believe there was a time me and him didn't carry trophies home together and those were the years me and him bonded most even though we lived together forever. then we began working and managing fazolis together and realized what a team we made and&nbsp;&nbsp;those years he got to know me and i got to know him outside of just living together. He will always be one of the kindest assholes i know but i wouldn't want him any other way.

ok so the way i met Zeb is like anyone ever meets their significant others&nbsp;families relatives. you walk in wondering will they like me and what will they think of me just hoping it goes well. well for me i met zeb when he was 12 and alot smaller than he is today. i thought meeting her little brother would be wierd but life would happen to have it he was probably the silliest and sometimes strangest kid i would get to know. he has a passion for sports and video games its crazy to see. when it comes to the video games i never thought we would get along as much as we did but hey who cant bond over a several rounds of Zombies and him running circles around me.&nbsp;i have seen him grow and watched him out grow me and he still managed to keep his&nbsp;silliest personality. Since i met him he has been like&nbsp;another Brother to me and i'm glad i got to have him be this big a part of my life and glad we will finally be family.

Nakell and Kayenne met at Truman State through their service sorority, Alpha Sigma Gamma. It was love at first ducky date. They knew they were meant to be and chose each other as big and little.&nbsp;Since they were both psychology majors, they helped each other make it through by groaning about JVitt, studying together, and relieving stress with HGTV. Now, they most enjoy being salty together.&nbsp;

Nakell Baker

Sally and Kayenne met as members of KVitt's research team at Truman State. They were both the newbies to the group and quickly bonded. Kayenne admired Sally's brilliance, her kindness, and her sense of humor. When Sally decided to rush ASG, Kayenne was ecstatic and told her little, Nakell, all about her. As it happened, Nakell also loved Sally and became her big. Sally and Kayenne have had their share of adventures, in Barnett and in Chicago, and are excited to be reunited again.&nbsp;&nbsp;

Sally Pessin

Bruce is probably the first guy i met around my age that had his shit kinda together. he was cool and always just did what he liked and was awesome to hang with. I met him through other friends all the way across the walkway at broadmoor. he was always the friend i could just knock on his door and we could hang out all night and slay and build like maniacs on minecraft and play magic like the nerds we are. He was Always the friend that was easy to talk to and be honest about how things were going and i could really ask for help in making decisions with. we got along alot and i sat and talked to him hours into the night and i looked forward to those days id spend hanging with my friends&nbsp;cruising up and down the belt&nbsp;in our rides. Bruce is another one of the guys i consider my bros through thick and thin and he always had my back and that is why i cant wait to have him by my side for this next step in my life.

Shannon and Kayenne met through ASG at Truman State, but it was in Statistical ANOVA that the pair really became close. Shannon was the ray of sunshine Kayenne needed to get through her last math class. The pair managed to make it out alive and became all the stronger, and all the closer,&nbsp;for it. 

Shannon Hayes

Anthony is my Bro first and foremost. He is one awesome and amazing friend that would even say we have a bond stronger than alot of peoples bloodties. i first met him when i was on break at fazolis and he caught me off guard with a fork in hand and about 80% of my brownie on the end of it when he stabbed into it and stole it from me. wierd way to meet right? well &nbsp;i had no idea this would lead to the friendship we have. we worked together putting other crews to shame with our skills and showing them how to really run a restaurant and crew. living together was awesome we had alot of fun and did whatever we wanted whenever wether it being us going on our 9pm runs or just staying up till 5 am every night talking about life and what we have going on. He was always there to talk to me when i had things happen or when i experienced loss he was there ready to sit in the stairs and help me work through it. Anthony is the best Bro i could ever have asked for and i cant wait to see where all of our futures lead.
