Kiah and Syd’s Wedding at the Wood Private Residence in Marion, Iowa

Fabulous Fall Wedding at the Wood Private Residence in Marion, Iowa

A Love That Grew Over Time

Syd and Kiah met in the summer of 2021 at Cedar Ridge Winery + Distillery, where they quickly formed a playful, flirty friendship. Though they hesitated to start a relationship, they stayed in touch, and by the end of the year, their connection deepened. After months of long-distance visits, they made their relationship official and started planning for a future together. Syd proposed while they were setting up their first home, and Kiah said yes. Since then, they’ve moved to a new house, adopted two Bernedoodle puppies, and begun renovating their home.

A Vibrant Fall Celebration

For their fall wedding, Syd and Kiah wanted a day that was as warm and inviting as the season itself. They chose Emily and the Experience Package to bring their vision to life, focusing on deep oranges and rich fall colors to set a vibrant, cozy atmosphere. From the start, the couple prioritized a low-stress experience on the big day, with smooth organization throughout the planning process. “We wanted the day to be extremely fun—not just for us, but for all of our guests,” Kiah shared.
