Our Wedding

Kory Rousey &amp; Courtney Gearhart met when Courtney showed up with her brother at a pickleball open court through Kory's church in July 2024. They each thought the other was hilarious - they noticed each other immediately and when Courtney came back the next week, Kory asked her out. They went out that night, bowling the next, jumped in a river, and the rest is history! They have spent the months since rock-climbing, playing pickleball, watching football, making sushi, hiking, enjoying game nights and laughing with loved ones. Kory and Courtney share their faith in Christ and desire to submit to God's call in their lives in the big ways and small ways, to pursue growth and humility and to pursue intimacy with God and vulnerability with others. They are so grateful for YOU! For the community of people who have touched their lives over the years and who will touch their lives for many more to come. Let's CELEBRATE!!

Food

Our Favorite Neighborhood Restaurants

Aroi by Smiley ThaiLocated between the ceremony and reception venues, this is a classy mid-century modern neighborhood Asian fusion restaurant we frequent often. Our favorite order is to split the Beef Pad See Ew &amp; Dynamite Sushi Taco! Streetcar Taps and GardensAnother frequently visited favorite with a year-round patio and delicious food and drinks. Our favorite orders are the shrimp tacos and the sliders, but you can't go wrong with anything on the menu! Germantown PubOne of Kory's favorite restaurants, this local pub has a great sweet chili house sauce. Our go-to orders are the catfish nuggets (tossed in house sauce) and the spinach pecan salad.

For the ~Nashville~ Experience

Assembly Food Hall at Fifth and BroadwayFood Court style area with live music &amp; upscale shopping in the heart of downtown, right next to Broadway and the Nashville honky-tonk scene. There are tens of restaurants inside this food-court style area, but our favorites are Horu Sushi, Pharmacy Burger, and Saffron Kitchen. Visit at non-peak times for the best experience! Martin's BBQ on 4th AveA Nashville classic, Martin's Bar-B-Que has a great atmosphere and delicious BBQ!

Coffee

Barista Parlor, GermantownGreat coffee with a vibey modern atmosphere. Frothy MonkeyA Nashville classic with the Monkey Mocha - a surprisingly delicious banana mocha latte. The Coffee House at Second and BridgeThis is Courtney's favorite coffee shop but is located pretty far outside of the city. They have delicious coffee and breakfast food (the crepes!!) and are in the heart of downtown Franklin so it's worth it if you visit Franklin.

Activities

We recommend checking out Centennial Park that has a life size replica of the Parthenon and some lovely city-walking! The Nashville Farmer's Market is year-round and open from 10am-2pm and has local vendors and food spots. If the weather permits, Radnor Lake is a gorgeous park about 15 minutes outside of town for a short walk or a longer hike. Green Hills Mall is a classic but lively mall that might be a good choice for a cold or wet day. If you make it down to Franklin TN, The Factory is a lovely indoor spot to spend some time, do some shopping, or grab a bite any time of day. It's also right next to historic Downtown Franklin with plenty of shops, free parking, and lovely historic vibes.
