The bride is the daughter of Susan and Dr. Richard Arnspiger II of Fairway, Kansas. Hannah is the granddaughter of Charlotte Matthews of Kansas City, Kansas, and the late John Matthews, and the late Betty and Richard Arnspiger. Her groom is the son of Stephanie and Paul Freeman of Mission Hills, Kansas.

The groom’s parents toasted their son and future daughter-in-law at a lovely rehearsal dinner at The Kansas City Country Club on the evening of the 2nd. Dr. Sarah Fantus served as her sister’s matron of honor. The bridesmaids were Laura Kahan, sister of the bride, and Annie Kate Freeman and Mary Freeman, sisters of the groom, along with Stephanie Wilcox, Kendall Reeves, Grace Stanziola, Anne Martens, Audrey Phillips, Jordan Kiehl, and Tessa Gittings.
