It all started on Super Bowl Sunday, February 7, 2021, when Kristin walked into Brooksider to cheer on the Chiefs (spoiler: they lost). But despite the final score, the real win of the day was waiting behind the bar—Joe Schumacher. With a little help from liquid courage, Joe asked for Kristin’s number before she left. From there, things took off: our first date was a mix of speakeasies, Parlor, and Cigar Box. We found out we both went to Mizzou (Kristin loves reminding everyone she’s six years younger) and that we shared mutual friends, memories, and a sense of humor. Ironically, the next day was Valentines Day where we spent the day snowed in at GranFalloon. Soon enough, we were inseparable—walking our dogs together, grabbing ice cream at Summer Salt, and riding our bikes to the Plaza. One of our favorite dates was at the Nelson-Atkins Museum of Art, where we admired the art but really made memories at the mini golf—Joe (of course) letting Kristin win every single time; Kristin (of course being a natural athlete) won fair and square. We’ve road-tripped through Moab, Telluride, Lake Powell, and spent a wonderful week in Cabo, a trip so perfect that it inspired us to make Cabo the place where we’ll say “I do.” Through house moves, frozen pipes, new cities, and all the little moments in between, we’ve built a life that we can’t wait to celebrate with all of you. So join us—in Cabo, for sun, love, laughter, and Kristin attempting to play bartender every chance she gets.
