Please don’t. We have hired a photographer for our ceremony. We will happily take a picture with you after the ceremony. Additionally, there will be a Photo Booth set up near the bar that we would love for everyone to use. The pictures from the Photo Booth are unlimited. You get a copy and we get one too! Please enjoy the moment, make some happy memories, and allow us to share in them by using the Photo Booth to its full potential.

Question
Do you have a gift registry?
Answer
Short answer, no. We know that asking you to travel to Kansas City for our wedding can be costly and your presence is all we ask for. If you would like to give us a gift, we would be very grateful for gift cards from Home Depot or Nebraska Furniture Mart. We have purchased a house and there are some improvements we would like to make in the future. We have also added a QR code for Venmo for contributions to our honeymoon fund.

Answer
We will have an indoor ceremony. The cocktail hour will have both indoor and outdoor areas. Dinner will be served indoors. The outdoor area will be available throughout the night.

Late June in Missouri can be hot at midday. The building does have a great air conditioning system so you will be able to stay cool. Typically the high/low temperatures have been 90-65 degrees.
