Our Wedding

We have Buddy and Luka to thank for this one.On May 21, 2022, Emily brought Buddy out to a dog park here in Lubbock. Jacob was there with Luka. The dogs introduced themselves first, and by the time we had the leashes sorted out we were already deep in conversation. Neither of us was in any hurry to head home.Four years later, the crew has grown. Buddy now has Jacks and Remi to keep up with, and Addison the cat keeps an eye on all three of them.On October 17, 2026, we're getting married at The Kress, right here in the city where two dogs decided we should meet.

The Kress Building

1109 Broadway StreetLubbock, Texas 79401Saturday, October 17, 2026Ceremony and reception, both under one roof

Built in 1932 and listed on the National Register of Historic Places, The Kress is a restored downtown landmark on Broadway. Its brick walls, tall windows and wood floors give the whole evening a warm, unhurried feel — and because the ceremony and reception share the same building, no one has to move a car in between.

Getting There & Parking

The Kress sits on Broadway in the heart of downtown Lubbock, a short drive from Lubbock Preston Smith International Airport. Street parking is available along Broadway and the surrounding blocks, with public lots close by, and rideshare drop-off is easiest right at the Broadway entrance.<a href="https://www.google.com/maps/search/?api=1&amp;query=1109+Broadway+St+Lubbock+TX+79401" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Get directions</a>

Location

Wedding Party

Think cocktail dresses, jumpsuits, dress pants with a button-down or a sport coat. No need for a tux or a floor-length gown - just come polished and ready to celebrate. The ceremony and reception are both indoors at The Kress.
