Our Wedding

Jake and Lindsay met in St. Louis, MO during the summer of 2018. Lindsay was entering her last year of her doctoral program, and Jake was wrapping up his first year at PwC. They had their first date at The Slider House in Brentwood, which is sadly no more (replaced by The Hangar). For those of you wondering, yes there was a kiss on the first date, which was followed by a second as Lindsay responded“Wait, wait, do that again, I wasn’t ready!” From there, Jake and Lindsay dated throughout the summer, and went on their first trip together to Kansas City. Lindsay waited to tell her mother about Jake and the trip until she was on the road to Kansas City. That trip became the first of many, as Jake and Lindsay love to travel and see new places. Some of the places that they have been include: Denver, Lake of the Ozarks, Tampa, Phoenix, Sedona, Myrtle Beach, Philadelphia, Hot Springs, Smoky Mountains, Nashville, Boulder, and Ft. Walton Beach. All of this travel has lead Jake and Lindsay to pursue careers that allow them to travel and see the country as much as possible. Through their careers, they now live in Dallas, TX and hope to have the opportunity to work in San Francisco, Denver and/or Boston. Jake decided to pop the question to Lindsay during the summer of 2020. So, on the beautiful, sunny day of July 25, Jake had planned a nice “date day” for him and Lindsay. Jake requested that they dress up, as they had not had a reason to dress up in a long time due to COVID. Then, an hour before Lindsay was ready to go, Jake had to “go run an errand”. An hour later, Lindsay found a note at the door that began her on a scavenger hunt throughout St. Louis, revisiting important sites from throughout their relationship. The scavenger hunt ended on an island out in the middle of the Mississippi River, where Jake got on one knee and asked Lindsay to become his future wife (thankfully she said yes!). Due to COVID, Jake and Lindsay decided to plan for a long engagement as they do no wish to have to sacrifice having a large wedding with all their friends and family. In the meantime, Jake and Lindsay are living together in Dallas, planning more trips for 2021 (going to Voyageurs National Park, Isle Royale National Park, and Big Bend National Park), along with planning their honeymoon (Mediterranean Cruise!) They are looking forward to starting their lives together and building a tradition of consistent adventure.

Things to Do

Kelly, or Kmart, has been Lindsay’s friend since 5th grade where they met playing violin together. They became closer throughout middle and high school when they ran cross country and track at Lindbergh and remained besties through college. Kelly was Lindsay’s guide and chauffeur waiting for her at the first stop on the day Jake proposed!
Expect to see Kelly as the last one standing at the end of the night.

Kelly Martin

Jake's younger brother. While 4 years may separate them, many people have asked if they are twins. Luke has the better dance moves, Jake has the better hair. If you hear Luke and Jake speaking Spanish with one another throughout the night, don't be alarmed, this is all too normal for them. You can expect to see Luke out on the dance floor tearing it up.

Luke Wehmer

Jordan is Lindsay’s twin sister (obviously). As twins, Lindsay and Jordan like a lot of the same things, hiking, being outdoors, working out, and eating ice cream. However, they are very different as Jordan is an inspiring Instagram influencer and loves cooking and Lindsay enjoys Jake cooking all her meals.
Except to see Jordan on her phone throughout the night.

Jordan Smith

Sonny (Short for Sason) has been Jake’s best friend since they met in college in their fraternity. They have been roommates from the second half of college through 2020. Expect to see Sonny dropping it low on the dance floor and competing with Lindsay to see who can stay up the latest.

Sonny Jadali

Sierra has been Lindsay’s friend since they met in PT school. They quickly became friends and study buddies, bonding over their hatred of exams and love for winery weekends. Sierra, like Lindsay, is also a twin and loves to have a good time.
Expect to see Sierra with wine in one hand at all times and possibly with a cowbell in the other.

Sierra Wittenauer

Austin was the first friend that Jake made at Truman. Austin, like Jake and Lindsay, loves travel and has traveled the country while working for his previous employer. There is never a dull moment when Austin is around. Expect Austin to meet you during the wedding and become your next best friend, or expect him to be trying to convince the DJ to play Kenny Chesney.

Austin Werths

Julia has been Lindsay’s friend since they worked together as camp counselors at the YMCA in the summer of 2013. Julia is the queen of themed parties and Lindsay loves a good themed party. Julia is the friend that is always there, everyone deserves a Julia.
Expect to see Julia asking for the DJ to play Disney soundtracks or doing the truffle shuffle. 

Julia St. Louis

Collin was Jake's "little brother" within his fraternity. This mentor relationship evolved into a lifetime friendship. Jake and Collin lived together during Jake's final summer in Kirksville while studying for the CPA. Collin is an amazing chef and never disappoints when he brings a dish. Expect to see Collin sipping whiskey, hanging by the bar, and spouting out movie quotes or baseball facts.

Collin Heisel

Claudia has been Lindsay’s friend since they met at Maryville freshman year. At first, Lindsay thought Claudia hated her because Lindsay was talking too much in class, but if turns out Lindsay is one of the few people Claudia actually liked. Claudia is sassy, says what’s on her mind, and always loves a good goss sesh. Claudia enjoys long weekend trips and has been to Scottsdale, AZ and Austin, TX with Lindsay.
Expect to see Claudia being cool girl and spilling the tea.

Claudia Sipikati

Blake has been Jake's friend all throughout college as they became friends through their fraternity (Blake being one year younger than Jake). Since then, Jake has pretty much copied Jake's resume as he followed Jake in taking on the presidency of their fraternity, and then worked for the same employer as Jake (PwC). Blake is an aspiring real estate mogul and an insane neat freak. Expect to see Blake chatting up the above 40 crowd discussing their 401(k) strategies and if they are interested in making money moves.
