I think most of you have some idea about our history but if not here is a very “spark notes” version of how we ended up here. (If you don’t know what spark notes are you’re most likely on the bride’s invite list and not the groom’s invite list ‘cause… spark notes get degrees.)

We dated a long time ago, Zo is young and Ben is old and the timing wasn’t perfect. Ben broke up with Zo in the parking lot of a local park like an asshole, Zo deleted Ben’s number and the rest is history….

Well not quite. Several years later we reconnected just long enough for Zo to gaslight Ben into going to law school. And now the rest is history.

The ceremony will be brief, so if seeing us say “I do” is important to you, we suggest not being late.

After the vows, prepare yourselves for a party: heavy hors d'oeuvres, an open bar, and way too much bad dancing will commence. There will be no assigned seating (except for some designated family sections) so come on in, make some new friends, and enjoy the festivities.

Why not? Don’t get us wrong we love OKC, but KC has become a special place for us and thought it would make the perfect “destination” wedding spot.

We are excited to share KC with our out-of-town friends and family and for those of you who already live there, it’ll be an easy trip.

Rieger is one of our favorite places in KC. The space is incredible, the people are the best, and they make some killer booze. Big shout out to the Rieger team for making a special exception for us by allowing us to host this party upstairs on a Saturday night.

Please tip the excellent staff accordingly, as any Saturday night patron would!

Black tie, strictly enforced….

Nah, wear what you want: dress up, dress funky, be creative. If you really want to pay homage to Zo, source your outfit from an estate sale or Goodwill.

This is a party, have a little fun.

The short answer is no…

The long answer: absolutely not.

Please understand that we love your kids, most of them anyway. While we understand this can be a challenge, given the setting, we are not able to accommodate any kids.

We will be happy to celebrate with them another time, we’ll even spoil them! Please know that if this means you are unable to attend, we absolutely understand and we will work to find a way to celebrate with you another time (maybe even in OKC)!

This is something that is important to us, both as lawyers and people who care about you.

We will have a 32-passenger shuttle running from 21c to the venue every 20 minutes or so beginning at 6. If you aren’t staying at 21c but would still like to utilize the shuttle, feel free to park in the garage just north of the hotel and hop on!

The shuttle will run all night until everyone is where they need to be.

That being said, Rieger does have limited parking, so if you just feel like you HAVE to drive, you’re welcome to.

Just remember: this is a party… at a distillery… with an open bar… Please take us up on the offer and utilize a safe ride.

We are incredibly honored that you have chosen to come celebrate with us. We would not be here without our families and friends and we couldn’t imagine a better way to commemorate this milestone.

Special thanks to Tarena, Vickie, and Mark. You have been instrumental in shaping us into the people we are.

Please know that we know traveling for a wedding is not an easy or inexpensive thing to do. We love you and can’t wait to party with you.
