the adventure begins...

Rachel and Justin met over coffee just off of the University of Missouri campus. After chatting and laughing for a few hours, Justin was smitten and Rachel was pretty sure he was "the one."

On Christmas morning, after Rachel and Justin had made a special breakfast for the Bauers, the family sat down for presents. After exchanging a few gifts, Justin pulled a bag from under the tree, and put it discreetly in the pile next to Rachel. She open the bag, then the wrapped box inside it, to find a jewelry box. Rachel had been expecting earrings or a necklace, but Justin had other plans. When she opened the box, Rachel could hardly process what she saw! She turned to Justin as he got down on one knee and asked her to be his wife. It was the beginning of their greatest adventure yet!

This wedding incorporates a few of Rachel and Justin's favorite things: the cool weather of fall, s'mores, the outdoors, great food and drink, awesome people, and the east coast. They could not be more excited to share this day with their family and friends.
