Our Wedding

Emma and Paul first met each other through choir at Mizzou in 2021. By March of the following year, they had gone on their first unofficial date (A workout at MizzouRec followed by Chipotle quesadillas) and their first official date (Kobe Steakhouse). They remained together for the rest of their college years, performing in concerts together with University Singers and Hitt Street Harmony. Their days were filled with coffee dates, rehearsals, concerts, and study sessions in small dorm study halls or college living rooms until May of 2023, when they both graduated with their Bachelor Degrees. In their five years together, Emma and Paul have lived in a combined total of 1 dorm room, 6 different apartments, and 3 cities. They have supported each other through college graduation, landing their first "out of college" jobs, moving, switching jobs, moving again...and everything in between. After four of their five years spent living apart, the two are happily residing under the same roof in St. Charles together with their kitty, Gus, and puppy, Sadie. Emma and Paul enjoy navigating life with one another, traveling to new places, and experiencing new adventures. They are exhilarated about this most special adventure, marriage, and thank you for your love and support in celebrating it!
