Lanie & Weston
Things To Do
Circle M Lodge - Venue Fun
With 160 acres to roam, you can ride 4-wheelers, fish, skeet-shoot, deer & hog hunt, zip-line, and swim. Perfect place to hang out if you can only stay for the day.
The University of Oklahoma
Founded in 1890, it had existed in Oklahoma Territory near Indian Territory for 17 years before the two became the state of Oklahoma. "There's only one Oklahoma."
Warren Theater
This theater has quite the experience attached. Warren Theaters are modeled after the classic art deco theaters in the 1950s, Along with the throwback that the theater style gives off, all of the employees wear 1950's style movie theater uniforms as well to match the theme.
Bricktown
In this District of OKC, you can both walk around to see some sites or eat your heart out. Things to do include taking the Water Taxi around the canal, walking the canal's path which can lead you to Centennial Park (where you can see the Land Run Monument), and also go see the Myriad Botanical Gardens.
Midtown
Although not a large metro area of OKC, it is arguably one of the most enjoyable. There are little shops and wonderful places to eat (faves are listed specifically on this "To Do" list), as well as some historical locations like the Memorial Museum.
Waffle Champion
Located in midtown: "Counter-serve eatery featuring unique waffle sandwiches in casual, airy digs with outdoor seating." Mouth-watering, highly recommend giving it a chance if you can! It's a breakfast / brunch place, open from 7am - 2 pm.
Tamashii Ramen House
Located in midtown: "Japanese noodle soups with a variety of ingredients offered in a cozy, contemporary space." Our favorite hot spot and where we went after Weston "popped the question." They have great ramen bowls, delicious garlic fried rice (especially if you like egg), and anime plays on the TVs. It's not everyone's speed but it sure is ours. It's a nice and relaxing time while you fuel up. 10/10 would recommend.
Plaza District
Food Highlights include: "The Mule," "Goro Ramen," "Empire Slice House," and "Pie Junkie." Lanie discovered some of her favorite art in a little shop called "DNA Galleries." The Plaza District is home to galleries, studios, retail shops, restaurants, performance venues and creative services. Choose from a variety of gourmet dining and drinking establishments and visit retail shops featuring artist-made, vintage and retro clothing and home furnishings. Experience Oklahoma’s premier professional theatre company, Lyric Theatre, in the district’s historic Plaza Theatre.
Chickasaw National Recreation Area
"An Oklahoma Oasis," this national park has walking trails, hiking, camping, springs, lakes - all around beautiful sights. It is located in Sulphur, OK, which is roughly 20 minutes south of the wedding venue.

The main part of the range is located in northern Carter County and southern Murray County, approximately 15 miles north of Ardmore and 5 miles south of Davis, Oklahoma on Interstate 35.

Popular recreation areas in the Arbuckle Mountains include Turner Falls Park, the Chickasaw National Recreation Area, one of the most popular national park facilities in the United States, and Lake of the Arbuckles.
Turner Falls
Turner Falls is located 5 miles south of Davis, whereas Chickasaw NRA is located in the city of Sulphur. At 77 feet, is locally considered Oklahoma's tallest waterfall. The park covers 1,500 acres, and also contains nature trails, caves and other interesting geological features. It also has a walk-in castle which was built in the 1930s.
Andy's Frozen Custard
Okay, yes this is a chain establishment, but they have the best custard we've ever had. They make it fresh every hour and it's heavenly. Whether you are driving north or south, treat yo'self. There are a handful in the North Dallas area and north part of OKC. Lanie's favorite concrete - vanilla custard with melted chocolate chips. Weston's favorite - chocolate custard with peanut butter.
