Our Wedding

ONCE UPON A TIME... There was a boy and there was a girl. And that girl beat the boy in a 9-ball match at pool league back in year of 2024! While their individual lives led them adrift for a short time, they would soon be reunited one night...over the mutual love of pool. Getting his payback, Zach emerged victorious over Kayla that night. But night after night, Kayla would return to the small tournament Zach ran for another chance to play...and another chance at love. A couple months passed before Zach solidified their mutual decision to not lose each other again in this life and asked for Kayla's hand in marriage in September of 2025. And that's where YOU come in! To celebrate this wild journey of love and the union of Zach and Kayla.We couldn't be more excited to have you at our special day!

Q + A

We are incredibly grateful if you choose to travel to Houston for the wedding. We have listed some hotels below, but they are just suggestions. Feel free to book the hotel of your choosing and reach out if you need suggestions on areas in Houston to stay. Houston has two major airports if you are flying. IAH (Bush) and Hobby. Both are about 30 minutes from Downtown Houston and the church. Houston, unfortunately, does not have great public transportation. We would suggest obtaining a rental car or using Uber/Lyft for getting around.
