Our Wedding

Zia and Adrian matched on OK Cupid on February 19, 2023, after answering 523 relationship questions and earning an impressive 99% comparability score. Their first date took place at Blue Print Coffee on March 5th 2023, which then moved on to a trip to the St. Louis Zoo, and then a picnic on Art Hill in Forest Park. One hour into their date, which would eventually stretch into nine hours, they knew that they had found something special. They soon became inseparable, bonding over their love of traveling, animals, Balder's Gate 3, and quiet nights at home. Zia and Adrian proposed to one another on March 29th, 2024 at the Castle Ruins in Ha Ha Tonka State Park. They now invite you to celebrate their upcoming marriage on February 2nd, 2025.

Travel

This is a fantastic Zoo with many exhibits. Plus, you can walk around the place where Zia and Adrian started to fall in love. The big plus is that the majority of the Zoo is free except for a few select attractions. Adrian and Zia highly recommend the reptile house.

Saint Louis Zoo

Housed in an old shoe factory in Downtown St. Louis, City Museum is an ever-evolving, always-thrilling, artist-built playground full of weirdly wonderful spaces to explore. From a passion project to an indoor, outdoor, underground playground that welcomes adventurous visitors from all over, we had no idea what City Museum would become when we&nbsp;first opened our doors.

City Museum

The Saint Louis Art Museum collects, presents, interprets, and conserves works of art of the highest quality across time and cultures; educates, inspires discovery, and elevates the human spirit; preserves a legacy of artistic achievement for the people of St. Louis and the world; and engages, includes, and represents the full diversity of the St. Louis community supporting it.
