Emilia & Karl’s Wedding at Walker Homestead, Iowa

Fourth of July Wedding at Walker Homestead in Iowa City

Reconnected Love

Emilia and Karl met at Iowa City West High School in show choir. They dated long distance for a part of college, and eventually broke up. Happily they reconnected when they both moved to Chicago after college graduation where she was a teacher and Karl came to start a new job in finance.

The couple had many conversations about getting married, life goals, values and a passion for community. This made it easy for Emilia to fall in love with Karl’s wisdom and aspirations. With Karl’s confidence in his decision making, he knew she was the one earlier than Emilia did.

Eight year later, Karl brought Emilia to where they had their first date, a walk along the river in Iowa City. The began to walk across the bridge near Hancher and Karl asked Emilia to marry him. She immediately said yes! The newly engaged Emilia and Karl went to Basta for dinner and celebrated with their families after.
