Molly Kate and Kenny met in high school at age 15 through mutual friends (who are now part of the wedding party!!). Kenny asked Molly Kate to be his girlfriend shortly after turning 16. They dated long distance throughout college while Molly Kate attended the University of Alabama and Kenny was at Lindenwood University. There wasn't a day they could go without talking to each other and visiting each other as often as possible, and Kenny couldn't have been happier when Molly Kate moved back home to St. Louis for work after graduation. Molly Kate was able to be closer to Kenny while he attended SIUE School of Pharmacy! In August of 2024, Kenny proposed in Forest Park at Art Hill in front of the St. Louis statue - the same statue where Molly Kate and Kenny took their prom photos senior year of high school - so prom!! Afterwards, Kenny told Molly Kate they were meeting their families for lunch, but he "forgot" his wallet at home, so they had to make a pit stop. To Molly Kate's surprise, the house was filled with their family and friends for a surprise engagement party! • • • • We are so excited to be starting our lives together in our hometown of St. Louis surrounded by friends and family, and of course our sweet German Shepherd Luka! We can't wait to celebrate with you all in May at wedding venues that hold sentimental value to us both. Our ceremony will be held at The Shrine of St. Joseph, the same church that Kenny's parents were married! Our reception will take place at the Missouri Athletic Club, the same venue as our senior prom and where Molly Kate attended father-daughter dances growing up!
