Our Wedding

Liam and I met at a Halloween party on October 28, 2023. He was dressed up as Men in Black, and I had just come from work, so I did not have the chance to change. Immediately, we struck up a conversation, and he asked for my number. For our first date, he took me to P.S. Social at Hotel Phillips.&nbsp;We have gone there so many times now.&nbsp;We officially began dating on December 18, 2023.&nbsp;We have enjoyed so many changes together and journeyed through the countless beauties of life.&nbsp;This was the beginning of a beautiful relationship that has brought us here. We couldn't be happier and more grateful to the Lord for having brought us together at this point in our lives. He has truly blessed us.&nbsp;

One of Kansas Citys most popular parks

Because everyone needs to know where the closest Chick-fil-A is to them at all times!

Chick-fil-A

Basically Chipotle but Mediterranean. It has become my new favorite!

CAVA

Also really great BBQ with a fun outdoor area to hang out. Right by our Church as well.

Favorite part... the religious art!

The Nelson-Atkins Museum of Art

Some quick and fun indoor mini golf

Dinner

Decently priced and fantastic tasting! We go hear far too frequently.

Blue Sushi Sake Grill

My all time favorite pizza place. Their quattro formaggi pizza is fantastic.

Grimaldi's Pizzeria

Some good ol' fashion KC BBQ. We went here the first time we hung out.

Q39 - Midtown

Late Night

By far, this is our most visited speakeasy in Kansas City.  You must make a reservation before going.

P.S.

My favorite drink is Cuffing Season. It is a Christmas Espresso Martini. Ask for it!

The Primrose (Mission, KS)

Liam asked me to be his girlfriend here on December 18!

Verdigris Bar

Really remarkably decorated rooftop bar. Highly suggest going here, however, you will need to make your reservation at least a month and a half in advance. It is an intimate space and only is large enough for about 10 couples, so it books up really quickly. A reservation AND payment is required prior to your arrival. Very classy!

The Mercury Room

Beautiful view of the city. Great rooftop bar.

Percheron Rooftop Bar

Tin Roof

Great place for an after party! The kitchen is open until 3am. The food is AMAZING! The loaded potato skins with pulled pork are to die for!

Charlie Hooper's Brookside Bar & Grille

Country line dancing bar. Really lively on a Friday and Saturday night. $5 cash cover charge.
