Formal, but dress to be comfortable in Missouri's September weather. The short ceremony will be outside, the reception will be inside. The colors of the wedding are yellow, grey, and sage green. You are not required to match those, but if you would like to, that's cool!

We will be serving dinner at the reception from Peachtree Catering, a local small business that sources their meat and produce from farmers in the community! This will be the menu: Smoked Chicken Thighs Smoked Pulled Pork Roasted BBQ Cauliflower (Vegetarian) Summer Fennel & Cabbage Slaw Cracker Top Mac & Cheese Slider Rolls House BBQ Sauce Mini Cinnamon Apple Crumbles If you have any food allergies or restrictions please let us know in the RSVP form or contact us before the wedding!

There will be an open bar for wine, beer, and a selection of non-alcoholic drinks at the reception, while supplies last. Other alcoholic drinks besides wine and beer will be available to be purchased. (Just an FYI, the venue cannot accept American Express credit cards, but other cards are accepted.) Please do not bring your own alcohol to the venue. Please drink responsibly and have a designated driver in your party or have a ride arranged ahead of time. We recommend Uber or Lift. If you need help arranging a ride, please contact us before the date of the wedding.

We ask you to please do not smoke anywhere on the venue's property including outside, some of the guests are allergic.

Please enjoy the ceremony and leave the photography up to the professionals (so we can get photos of you, not your phone!) Feel free to take photos before or after the ceremony, especially during the reception, and please send them to us to enjoy as well! Either text/email them to us or upload to our online "Memento" album! It will just ask for your email before uploading. ​ Jennifer Litherland: 816-261-2638, jennifer.litherland@outlook.com Matthew Anderson: 916-572-5428, matt@manderscience.com We will upload photos to our photo gallery page after the wedding, for now enjoy some photos of us!

If you plan on coming, we highly recommend booking your lodging as soon as possible! Unfortunately it is a football game weekend in Columbia, it was basically impossible to find a fall weekend that wasn't, so hotels may book somewhat quickly. We are not doing a hotel block, so you have more options to book. Our venue is in Boonville, which is only about 20 minutes from Columbia. We recommend staying at one of the many hotels or AirBnBs in Columbia. In the unlikely occurrence you can not find lodging in Columbia, we recommended looking in Booneville or Jefferson City, which are also nearby.

If coming from out of state, Columbia has a regional airport, but it has limited flights. We recommend going through Kansas City or St. Louis for flights, then rent a car to get to Columbia, MO.

If you need local food recommendations for before or the day after the wedding here are our suggestions for Columbia! There are so many good restaurants in the area, but here are just a couple of our go-tos! But FYI we will be serving dinner at the wedding! Ozark Mountain Biscuit Co. Bangkok Gardens Cafe Berlin 44 Canteen Hokkaido Ramen Bar A Little More Poke Bowl and Hibachi Express Pizza Tree Gumby's Pizza

If you have time to kill before or the day after the wedding here are somethings we recommend to do in Columbia! Shopping Downtown Catch a film at RagTag Cinema Walk around Mizzou's beautiful campus which is also a botanical garden Check out Mizzou's Museum of Art and Archaeology (including the statues upstairs in Ellis Library) Check out the beautiful Shelter Gardens (that's where Matt proposed to Jenni!) Go for a hike on one of the many trails in the area
