The Wedding Website of Christopher Vondracek and Carrie Johnson
Carrie and Christopher met in Yankton, while attending the wedding of a mutual friend, so their wedding is being held in a fitting place. Also, Carrie grew up in Yankton, and Christopher has family who live there, too. The "Mother City of the Dakotas," the once-territorial capitol of the Dakota Territory, is located on a bend in the Missouri River, just north of Nebraska and west enough for an adventure.
