Our Wedding

Rumor has it that the first time Jordan and Kelsey met they were 6 and 7 years old. Kelsey's brother, Zach, and Jordan were playing "keep away" from Kelsey with a football in our friend John's backyard. Neither of them really recall that, so we will share the story of their 2nd meeting! It all really started at a birthday lunch for Tish Fischer. Jordan was there helping to celebrate, and Lisa and Waights were sitting directly across from Jordan. (This was their first time meeting him.) Lisa had a good opportunity to chat with Jordan and found him quite charming. Jokingly she texted Kelsey from the table saying "I just met your future husband!" Clearly he had made a strong impression on her, and she had her suspicions that Kelsey would feel the same way. It was now a mission to get Jordan and Kelsey introduced.It took another 8 months, and they had to be bribed with BBQ, but at John Lethco's birthday party at The Salt Lick in May 2010 they finally met. There was an instant connection and from that day on those around them could see the friendship and love growing. Kelsey was a grade behind Jordan in high school and graduated early so that she could join him at The University of Arkansas in Fayetteville. They continued to date all through college and moved together to Fort Worth in 2015 shortly after graduation. In November 2016, Kelsey and Jordan planned a trip to Sedona, Arizona. One morning they took a beautiful sunrise hike and while out on that hike Jordan asked Kelsey to marry him. It was a very special moment, and came as quite a surprise to Kelsey!Here we are, 7 years later, ready to be a part of a wonderful celebration of their strong friendship and never ending love.Thank you for joining us on this adventure!

How It All Began

Our Story

Details

Kara started as my "big sister" in Kappa, but grew to be much more than that! Kara and I have always shared a love for cooking,  dancing, wine nights, and being around eachother. We have remained close through all of the curves  life has thrown at us. Kara is one of the most loyal and trustworthy people that I know. I am so thankful for her consistent presence in my life, and I am  lucky to call her my friend! Kara is now living with her fiance in Austin, TX, and working in the kitchen at Lauderrette.Most likely to: Grow to be a decorated Michelin Star Chef!

Kara Dawson

My favorite brother. He is someone I have looked up to my whole life and I could not have asked for a better role model. I was so glad I was able to be there for him in his wedding day just over a year ago and am so thankful he will be there for mine.Best Memory: Crabbing down in the swamp!

William McMahan

Taylor is one of my closest friends from college. We have enjoyed many travels, late night karaokeing at Infusions, and  always a ton of laughs on our long drives. She is charmingly unapologetic  about her opinion, and enjoys the challenge of a good debate (two things we definitely have in common). This trait has also brought her and Jordan closer as friends, as he shares this characteristic as well! Taylor has always had a positive and contagious energy that makes it easy to enjoy life! It is almost impossible to be in a bad mood when you are with her. Jordan and I are so happy she can join us for this celebration! Most likely to: Travel the world, marry Fred Weasley, and discover she actually IS from Neptune. 

Taylor Schulte

Carlos and I have been best of friends since Jr.High. You could not ask for better friend than this guy. Even after heading separate ways during college Carlos and I have have stayed great friends.Best Memory: Tubing the San Marcos River with no tube.

Carlos Chinchilla

Karina and I met in Arlington, Texas. I had just graduated from the University of Arkansas, and moved to Fort Worth to work at a local mental health facility. Karina was a manager there, and we quickly bonded over our shared love for margarita's and country music! Then, she was a pre-law student at UT Arlington, and now she is in the top 10% of her class at the OKC  Law School. Karina has a beautiful and energetic son, who loves Pokemon and robots last I checked! Karina is not only one of the smartest and  hardest working people I know, she is also  one of the most honest and caring people I have ever met. I am so thankful to call her a friend. Most likely to:  Win a grand prize of  Hot Cheetos by finishing the lyrics of a George Strait song! Then share the  winnings with her favorite friend ; )

Karina Loya

Oh Tyler, I think this guy drank more cases of beer than he did take showers during our Fraternity house days. He has become one of my best friends since those days and I could not imagine my wedding day without this guy. Don't worry he bathes frequently these days, although he still may drink more beer.Best Memory: Creating the best Advertisement ever for Milwaukee's Best Ice

Tyler Cline

Hailey and I met in high school, when Jordan and I first started dating. She has always been  one of the only people that can match my goofiness! Which is an impressive feat.... I love this girl to say the least. She is  always down to order pizza in so that we can color and watch  Disney movies. She also always shows up well prepared for any Game of Thrones theory conversations,  and aggressive head bobbing to Love on Top. I know my mom will agree that she has some of the most impressive dance moves, and can easily inspire everyone around her to join in! Most likely to: Be a dancer on a Soul Train revival show!!

Hailey Blake

I have known Dalton since our elementary days, and have become better and better friends ever since. I don't think I have ever had a bad time when hanging out with this guy. He is also as genuine as they come, look out ladies this guy is the next one to go.Best Memory: Whisky Garden Swims, I really could not see anything.

Dalton Buchan

Danni is someone  that I can hang and watch endless Law and Order SVU with, and terrible movies (like The Last Unicorn).  We lived together  in college, and were able to survive astronomy, FIJI game days together, and through the navigation of life choices. We have been close through good times and bad, and through it all she has always been the same loving person I remember meeting years ago. Even though all of the girls call me and Jordan "Mom and Dad", Danni was a lot of my support during our college years. She is one of the strongest people I know, but also maybe the last one to recognize it. Her motivating spirit lifts mine and others around her. 'Clark Kent', as I call her, is one of the people that saves me most!Most likely to: Become a pants-less pirate that specializes in commandeering ship loads of wine. She then obviously takes them back to her mansion to enjoy with her cats, and her commune of friends that have ordered $10 dinner boxes from Pizza Hut.  

Danni Garton

Mr.Jones and me have had our share of great times. Being my only from from college who stuck around Arkansas still allows us to enjoy the Natural State together. Drew and I have been friends since college, worked two jobs together (he was my boss for one), and have had some great times through it all. Watch out though, he is the best salesman you have ever met.Best Memory: Any of the countless kayak trips.

Drew Jones

Brook is another one of my close friends that I was lucky to meet from Jordan, in high school. She was also the first person that I met of Jordan's friends! She is a very talented bowler and a knower of all things Grey's Anatomy. We are usually at our best together in lounging clothes, with a glass of wine, and watching binge worthy television or Spurs Basketball. Although we are experts at a successful night in, she can easily convince me to a night on the town! I can't wait to celebrate with her on our wedding night.Most likely to: Start a clothing company and befriend Andy Cohen!

Brook Halasz

Chris wI met Chris as a freshman in college while we both were joining the same fraternity. Our interest in all things nerdy (video games, catan, etc) quickly made us the most desirable men on Campus. Chris now works for a successful Ad Agency in Kansas City, and has a part time job as a professional beeriocart driver.Best Memory: Riding 2 deep on a scooter in suits while it was thunder storming, trust me the other option was worse.

Chris Wharman

Chris took a job at RB right out of college like me, we met during one of our many work trainings and over time became great friends. Chris is one of those people that can make you smile during the worst of it. He has taught me a lot about being yourself, and I am so greatful to have him as a friend.Best Memory: Walmart phone chats.

Chris North

Michael was another one of the great friends I met through my fraternity. While we were good friends during college we became closer when I moved back to Fayetteville from Fort Worth. Michael is one of the brightest out there and is on his way to becoming a dentist, Michael I expect free cleanings!Best Memory: Sneaking in to see Baby Bash

Travel

Embark on an adventure to some of Austin’s major landmarks, quaint neighborhoods, and hidden gems that only the locals can show you. Ride through town in a comfortable van, and even get a tasty treat from one of Austin's signature food trucks.
Meet up with your interesting and inquisitive guide to scope out everything that’s cool in Austin, hitting all the hot spots and historical sites. Check out the bars and restaurants along lively 6th Street, admire the ornate façade of the 1886 Driskill Hotel, and see political landmarks like the Texas State Capitol and the elegant colonnaded Governor’s Mansion.
Scope out the Bullock Texas State History Museum, the Blanton Art Museum, the Harry Ransom Center—a massive library known for its collection of rare books and manuscripts—and the University of Texas stadium and campus. Take in the serene natural beauty of Lady Bird Lake, and ride across the Congress Avenue Bridge, which is home to the world’s largest urban colony of bats.
Drive on from site to site as you discover the city’s must-see landmarks, including the Greetings from Austin Postcard mural and the “I love you so much” graffiti, as well as some hidden locations that visitors might not normally find. Take it all in as you chat with your fellow travelers and guide. Learn about the city’s famous people, parks, history, food, and culture, seeing firsthand why locals care so much about keeping Austin weird. After all the sightseeing and laughter, sample some typical Texas cuisine at a favorite local food truck.

City Highlights Tour

Paddle through the waters of Lady Bird Lake, scoping out views of downtown Austin's skyline, visiting quiet islands, and cruising past parks that line this sealed section of the Colorado River. Along the way, explore secluded beaches perfect for a refreshing swim and snap photos of native wildlife.
Pick up your kayak on the shores of Lady Bird Lake, a manmade reservoir that helps supply Austin with drinking water and prevent flooding of the Colorado River. Get fitted for a paddle, life jacket, and a kayak as experienced rental staff chat about proper paddling technique and offer tips on different places you can check out.
Enjoy the freedom to explore Lady Bird Lake at your leisure. You might drift to the quiet shores of Snake Island, whose name thankfully has little to do with its character, check out Barton Springs Pool, or look for Mexican free-tailed bats under the Congress Avenue Bridge. At the end of your rental time, point your bow back to the tour office and wrap up your paddling adventure.
