Our Wedding

Chris and Sarah met like many other millennial couples in the middle of a pandemic... online. What Sarah had not realized is that she had actually met Chris a few years before at a Chrisman soccer game. He was the soccer coach of Sarah's family's foreign exchange student. Two weeks after hanging out, Sarah texted one of her best friends saying that she knew she was going to marry him. Chris used his witty charm (and his cute kids) to win her over. A little over a year later, he got down on one knee and made it official. While the relationship is anything but conventional, they are excited to spend a lifetime together having fun and making memories as a new family.

Q + A

With the number of hotel options in Kansas City, we have decided to leave it up to our guests to choose a hotel that best fits their needs and budget. If you are coming from out of town, there are several hotels, bed-and-breakfasts, and vacation rentals in and around the Independence area. The venue is on the historic Independence Square, if you would like to stay minutes from the ceremony/reception. If you need a suggestion, the Hilton Garden Inn in Independence still has available rooms for that weekend. For those out-of-town guests, thank you SO much for making the trip to help us celebrate our love! We look forward to spending time with you all!
