Jewel Tone April Wedding at Celebration Farm in Iowa City, Iowa

Online Encounter to Forever

Shane and Shalini’s story began with a simple double-tap on a social media post. Little did they know that this digital interaction would become a journey of love, laughter, and companionship. Their story started in the vast expanse of the internet, where Shalini’s vibrant picture, capturing a moment of her enjoying a rare hike, caught Shane’s attention. Unbeknownst to him, it was possibly the only time Shalini had ventured into the great outdoors! Their online connection quickly evolved into long conversations filled with laughter, shared interests, and a growing sense of admiration for each other.

Creating a Cross-Cultural Celebration

Planning a wedding is an adventure in itself, but when it involves blending cultures and coordinating from different corners of the globe, it can become even more challenging. Shane and Shalini had a vision for their special day that combines their backgrounds and traditions into a vibrant celebration of love. After reaching out to Emily, the creative mind behind Soirée Wedding Planning, and choosing the Everything Package, their dream wedding in Iowa City unfolded seamlessly.
