A few notes: For those of you who are getting in on Friday and not already attending the rehearsal dinner, feel free to join in the fun at 8pm at Urban Chestnut Midtown (3229 Washington Ave, St. Louis, MO 63103) for our Wedding Welcome Party. If you are arriving Saturday, please call the hotel you are staying at to be placed on an early check-in list if you need your room earlier than 4pm. There will be a dollar dance at the reception, so bring some extra cash if you'd like to dance with the bride or groom! Our venue has over 200 parking spots behind the building, please consider the option of leaving your car if you plan to indulge in the open bar (we insist that you do)! Map to parking below

Weekend Details

Somewhere on the University of Arkansas campus in 2016, Robert was working at the now-defunct food delivery service "Tapingo" where he delivered chick-fil-a to a group of hungover freshmen girls. Brooklynn thought Robert's navy blue Ford F-150 was a good lookin' truck and the boy inside wasn't bad either. Brooklynn was in need of a sorority function date and after some encouragement from her roommates, she sent a daring text to Robert the delivery man. After a date at goodwill and a fun sorority function, Brooklynn and Robert were inseparable. After dating in college for many years, Brooklynn and Robert parted ways but found themselves in the midwest to continue their education and start their professional careers. Little did they know they would land at a frozen cocktail bar in Saint Louis for a "catch up" and start right back up again. After years of long distance traveling back and forth across beautiful I-70 from Kansas City to Saint Louis, Brooklynn finally convinced Robert to move to Saint Louis to enjoy Toasted Ravioli's on the Hill and picnics in Forest Park. That brings us to the knot, creating our wedding website on the comfort of our couch, drinking a glass of red wine (lets be honest a bottle), and enjoying the snoring sounds of our dog, Goldie.

Our Story

Q + A

One of the largest urban parks in the United States (500 acres larger than NYC's Central Park), the "heart of Saint Louis" features a variety of free attractions, including the&nbsp;St. Louis Zoo, and the Saint Louis Art Museum, is one of our favorite spots in the city. If you have free time we highly recommend taking advantage of all Forest Park has to offer. Including our favorite location for a good bloody mary: The Boathouse at Forest Park

Forest Park

City Museum is a family friendly museum&nbsp;whose exhibits consist largely of&nbsp;repurposed&nbsp;architectural and industrial objects. Boasting indoor/outdoor slides, a jungle gym, and art exhibits throughout, City Museum is as much a playground as it is a museum. This attraction is uniquely Saint Louis and you would be hard-pressed to find anything similar elsewhere!

City Museum

St. Louis Union Station&nbsp;is a&nbsp;National Historic Landmark&nbsp;and former train station in&nbsp;St. Louis, Missouri, United States. At its 1894 opening, the station was the largest in the world. Union Station has great restaurants, an aquarium, and a ferris wheel. Fun for the whole family and located near the heart of downtown

Union Station

I don't feel you need any further introduction to the Gateway to the West, but if you go to Saint Louis and you didn't visit the Arch, did you ever really go to Saint Louis? The largest Arch in the world, a national park, it is truly an incredible feat of engineering. You can ride up to the top, or enjoy the walking trails down below if you aren't a fan of claustrophobia.
