We had an intimate wedding ceremony in the backyard of an Airbnb outside of Zion. Jon's cousin, Brandon, officiated the wedding. Given Brandon single-handedly kept our relationship together during college on a few separate occasions, he more than earned the right. Our weekend consisted of family dinners, board games, Iowa State football games, and last-minute wedding prep. It was so wonderful that our parents had a whole weekend to get to know each other. We feel very fortunate to have seamlessly fit into each other's families and watching our families mesh the same way made it even sweeter.
