Krista and Richard

Our Story

Our story began in the most unassuming way — a casual introduction that quickly turned into something special. What started as friendly conversation soon revealed a rare connection built on laughter, shared values, and an easy sense of partnership that felt like home.

From there, we spent years mastering the art of long distance — first between Mizzou and TCU, and later from St. Louis to Chicago. Countless miles, flights, and late-night FaceTimes later, we somehow made the distance feel small. Every visit reminded us that this was the real thing — something worth every bit of effort.

Over the years, we’ve celebrated milestones big and small — from first apartments and new adventures to the simple, everyday moments that make up a life together. With each season, our bond has grown deeper, shaped by kindness, respect, and an undeniable joy in simply being together.

Now, we can’t wait to celebrate this next chapter surrounded by the people who have loved and supported us along the way.

We’re so excited to welcome you to Saint Louis — a city full of family roots, favorite memories, and the perfect place to begin our forever at The Ritz-Carlton.

With love,
