Our Story
Leah and I met at Kent State University after joining the same campus ministry, Chi Alpha. I joined Leah's Bible study because I thought she was cute - how holy of me. Leah immediately stood out to me as a wonderful woman of character who looked good in a Kia Soul. In turn, Leah was attracted to my hair and forklift certification. After two years of friendship, I finally gathered the courage to properly ask her out. Our lives have been all the better since. Our relationship has been defined by a shared love of God, laughter, and a desire to see Joe Burrow lift a Super Bowl trophy. I'm honored to call Leah my bride-to-be, and I'm honored to invite you to join us on this special day. - Will

Yes, it's in Kentucky. No, I don't want to hear about how the Cincy airport is in a different state. But it's about an hour from the venue, and the views are great on the way in. - Leah

FAQs
Question
What’s the dress code?
Answer
Please aim to wear a semi-formal look. Something that your Mama wouldn’t be ashamed of if you walked out of the house in it. Thanks! -Leah
Question
I have a food allergy and am worried about cross-contamination.
Answer
Leah: Same. We’ll be serving allergy-friendly food and will alert our caterer to the allergies submitted with the RSVP’s (invites coming)! If you forget to include that, please text me ASAP!
Question
Do I have a plus one?
Answer
Unfortunately, our venue does have a capacity limit, so we are only able to accommodate those who are listed when you go to RSVP. Thank you for your understanding!
Question
What's the parking situation?
Answer
Leah: I see all you Type-A people out there, and I’m here to quell your worries. There’s plenty of parking reserved right in front of the venue. As for what you might really be worried about, no, you will not have to parallel park in front of other people.
