Welcome to Kentucky!
We’re so excited to welcome our friends & family to the Bluegrass State for our Wedding Weekend! Over the years, we’ve spent a lot of time in Kentucky - visiting JT’s family, cheering on the Wildcats at Rupp Arena, taking in the races at Keeneland & Churchill Downs, exploring Mammoth Cave & Shaker Village, and enjoying plenty of amazing food & bourbon along the way.
