From the Bride:

My husband and I met in high school. We dated for part of our senior year (he was my prom date!), but broke up shortly after graduating. After about three years apart, we decided to get back together. We were long distance for the first year of our relationship. Travis played basketball in college, and I spent many weekends of our senior year of college watching him play and going to his games. When he wasn’t busy, he would come visit me in Lawrence. Our relationship truly was so strong from the get-go because of this long distance for a year.

We got engaged just before Valentine’s Day of 2017, and quickly started planning our wedding. The Hilton President was a dream venue for me, and when they had our preferred date available, we booked it immediately! All of our vendors made our wedding so special. The Cake was made by close family friends of my husband’s family. My hair and makeup was done by his cousins. The band was the same one that performed at both of my older sister’s weddings! After the party ended and the guests all left, we got Taco Bell in our hotel room, and relived the most perfect night that we had just had.
