Cordell and Marissa met at Iowa State their freshman year in 2016 (their first week of class to be exact!) and have been inseparable since! They both had the best experience at Iowa State and they graduated in 2020. After college, they moved to Dallas, TX. One month before Cordell and Marissa were set to move to Dallas, Cordell proposed to Marissa at the Campanile on Iowa State's campus surrounded by their friends and family! Cordell says it has been the only surprise he has ever been able to pull on Marissa! Ames is such a special place for Cordell and Marissa which is why they are so excited to bring the wedding back to where it all started!
