Question
A Geography Lesson - Am I flying to Missouri or Kansas?
Answer
The wedding will be hosted in Kansas City, Missouri. Kansas City sits on Missouri's western edge, straddling the border with Kansas. The two cities remain two separately incorporated entities but together are a part of the Kansas City Metropolitan area. In Summary: - KCMO = YES - KCK = NO, NOT THIS TRIP
Question
Why Kansas City?
Answer
Brian was born and raised in Kansas City, Missouri (okay, technically Independence..) and Madison was excited to create an experience for their guests in a place many of them had never been to before. Kansas City has a special grit and unassuming charm that really sticks with you and we felt it was the perfect place to celebrate with the people closest to us.
Question
