Jake and Melissa Hower's Wedding in Iowa

We traveled the 6 hours to Iowa, but it was worth the trip. Over all we had a fantastic weekend. The rehearsal dinner was on the Iowa River so we got a good photo of us right before sunset.


Here I am at 26 weeks pregnant. They were all surprised that I was still on the dance floor dancing the night away.

Ryan has known Jake since his freshman year in college and they have remained friends and have also been in Seminary together. The ironic thing is Jake's Dad is the Senior Pastor at St. John where Ryan will be the associate. We got to know Melissa through Outpost Maplewood and she is sweet as can be. Jake and Melissa met at Outpost, and there was no turning back. :)

Overall, we had a great weekend in Iowa celebrating.
