Staci & Craig in Lawrence, KS

They met in 1999, at Pachamamas, a restaurant in Lawrence where Staci waited tables and Craig cooked. Later that year, Staci went to Europe for six months to study graphic design in England, and to travel. Just before New Year's Eve, Craig joined Staci so that they could tour Portugal and Spain together. They'll always remember Madrid: One romantic night, while enjoying music and singing in a picturesque flamenco bar, Craig pulled out a ring and proposed. The Bride Staci Sill, 27, graphic designer The Groom Craig Richards, 27, chef The Date October 28 Though Circle S Ranch and Country Inn is just twenty minutes from Lawrence, it affords its visitors a profound sense of seclusion and peace. A real working ranch, complete with cattle and horses roaming in pastures, serene rolling hills, and an endless expanse of tall grass prairies, the silent, bucolic landscape seemed ideal for the wedding of Staci Sill and Craig Richards. The two native Midwesterners were drawn to the serenity of the Kansas plains, and instantly seduced by the ranch's simple beauty.
