Our Wedding

Madison and Evan met on the app that is meant to be deleted. Otherwise known as Hinge! Evan was still living in Missouri and Madison was in North Carolina at the time of the match. There was potential for Evan to move to North Carolina for a work contract but things were still up in the air. The couple did three weeks of long distance phone calls, facetimes and non stop text messages until finally, Evan took the leap of faith and moved to North Carolina. After a 15 hour drive to his new home, Evan tagged on another hour and a half to make sure he saw Madison in person that same day so they could have their first date. Now, while Evan likes to say they met in a coffee shop and their first date was bonding over the LSU Tigers and a cup of coffee, they did something much better. The couple ordered some NC BBQ and sat on the couch talking for hours. The best first date they have ever been on. From there, the rest was history!

It all started with a swipe...

Ottawa is a very small town. One hotel close to the venue is available which will have room blocks. There are some Airbnb's in Ottawa but not many. If you prefer to have more options than the hotel listed, we recommend staying in Lawrence, Kansas. It is about 25 miles (35 minutes) from Ottawa. Lawrence is about 45 minutes from the Kansas City airport. If you have any questions or need additional recommendations for accommodations, please reach out to us!

Please make sure to mention the Block code when booking your room to ensure you get the correct room rate.
