Our Wedding

Once upon a time (more specifically, sometime in March of 2014) Kayleigh and Mike matched on an online dating website. After a few weeks of chatting and online gaming, Mike (Ace, not to be confused with Mike Deuce, Kaylegh's brother) invited Kayleigh over to hang out in Wichita. Kayleigh let her brother Mike (Deuce) know she was heading to town to meet a stranger from the internet, and not to worry, he seems totally normal and safe, this is fine, everything is fine... But here's his address, number, and if the vibes are off send me an emergency text or call so I can escape. They started the night playing Rock Band on X-Box, then watched some Doctor Who, and ended up staying up into the early morning hours talking, laughing, and learning as much as they could about each other. They made plans to see each other as much as possible and began alternating weekends between Pratt and Wichita, until Kayleigh moved in with Mike in Wichita in 2016. They bought a house together in November 2017. The couple try to catch as many concerts as possible, as they share a similar taste in music, and enjoy playing TTRPGs (tabletop role playing games like Dungeons &amp; Dragons for you non-nerds.) They host weekly D&amp;D nights with the Jordans (who will be officiating the wedding) when time and work schedules allow for it. They also enjoy quiet nights reading by the fireplace, Mike gaming while Kayleigh crochets, and DIY home renovations. Mike knew entering into a relationship with Kayleigh meant taking on the most important role as a father in their daughter Quinn's life. And boy, did he crush it. Quinn was only a year old when Kayleigh and Mike met, and she has been smitten with him since day 1. Their family rounded out with their two corgis Ollie and Mavis, and their two cats Ronan and Merlin.

How We Met

Our Story

Photos

Grace is Kayleigh's cousin joining us all the way from Ipswich, England! The two have shared a close relationship since Grace was born. From braiding hair before preschool to exchanging metal band recommendations, watching Grace grow and shine has always been a great joy in Kayleigh's life. 

Grace

Chris and Mike began their friendship in the 4th grade and quickly became additional sons to each other's parents. They've been through thick and thin, including car accidents, military deployments, a year as roommates, and years of suffering as Nebraska football fans. They are the most hetero of life partners.

Chris Reed

Brittney and Kayleigh knew each other for years, and became best friends after working together at AmFam and going through their pregnancies together. The two have shared many concerts, late nights, hours long conversation and tears together over the years. Their daughters Quinn and Lyric were "wombmates" and are thick as thieves like their moms. 

Brittney

Mike and Jake have been good friends since the 4th grade. They bonded over a mutual love of video games and bad movies, and over the years, their friendship has continued to grow through graduating college and learning how to be real adults.

Jake Seymore

Katie and Kayleigh have been best friends since Kayleigh moved to the states in elementary school. They have remained close their whole lives. The Page family home was a second home to Kayleigh, and the family themselves an extension on her own. They worked together at the skating rink in Pratt in highschool, and are happy to be settled in their careers in the same town and being able to share family events and reminisce on the best and worst decisions of their past (which is funny to look back on now). 

Katie

Mike and Dan's families have been close since before they were born. With only one year age difference, Mike and Dan spent a good amount of time together growing up via church and other activities. Although they haven't been as close over their adult years as Mike would like (thanks, life!), he can still count on Dan for honest and good advice on parenting, finances, adulting, and life in general.

Dan MacKay

Breanna is Kayleigh's sister-in-law, and "the little sister she never wanted." ;) Kayleigh considers herself the 5th Blankenship sister, and the two have grown close over the years over mutual torment of Kayleigh's brother. 

Breanna

Mike Quinn is Kayleigh's brother, and they met shortly after Mike Krull and Kayleigh began seeing each other. They quickly discovered a mutual interest in football and video games. In order to avoid the confusion of having two Mikes in close proximity, Mike Krull, as the older and therefore clearly superior Mike, got the nickname "Ace" while Mike Quinn was given the nickname "Deuce". This has carried over into their work lives (both Mikes work at Mid-American Credit Union), their fantasy football league (drafts get confusing when you don't know which Mike's turn it is), and Christmas gift labels (Ace vs Deuce is easier to remember than Mike vs Michael).

Mike Quinn

Quinn is the daughter of Kayleigh and Mike. She is a romantic at heart and is so excited about the wedding. She has taken on the role of Wedding Coordinator and looking forward to giving a speech on the big day. 

Quinn

Sadie is Katie's daughter. When asked if she would like to be the flower girl she said "I can't, I'm going to be a zombie for Christmas!" (Yes, Christmas, not Halloween) Luckily for us, she was able to make the special day.
