The Beginning of Forever

Courtney and Sam’s love story started in a very modern way—online. After exchanging messages and getting to know each other a bit, they decided to take the next step and meet in person. Their first date took place at the art museum in Forest Park, St. Louis. Courtney patiently waited outside for Sam, who was running a little late. Once they were inside, they wandered through the galleries, admiring the art and discovering how much they had in common. It didn’t take long for them to realize they shared something special, even down to their “similar speech patterns.” That instant connection led to a second date the very next evening, and from there, their love story only blossomed.

A Unique Wedding Twist
The bride and groom kept their wedding day fun and full of personality, starting with their choice of dinner during the break between the ceremony and reception—Taco Bell! Their son, Holland, might have had a little influence on that deliciously casual pick. 😊 The celebration continued at The Little Bevo, an intimate venue packed with charm and plenty of ways to entertain. Guests enjoyed the cozy bar, danced under a sparkling disco ball, and even took a break for some friendly competition at the pool table.
