Relive the magic of our first date at HG Supply Co! Located in Lower Greenville, this trendy spot has a rooftop bar with a great view of downtown Dallas.
Where He Proposed
Reunion Tower
Reunion Tower is an iconic Dallas landmark where we got engaged! This towering sphere offers 360-degree panoramic views of the city. You can visit the observation deck or treat yourself to a nice dinner at Crown Block.
Uptown
Uptown is home to Mary Cathryn and her siblings and where Chris spends most of his weekends.
Uptown and Downtown are divided by Klyde Warren Park, filled with fun activities and food trucks. They are also connected by the free McKinney Avenue Trolley which is fun to ride. A live map of the trolley can be found here: https://track.mata.org/
