Our Wedding

Just about everybody knows this story.... the infamous 7/11/2015. Steve came to Des Moines for Jessie and Conor's (Annie's sister and brother-in-law) wedding, and boy was he ready to party (as he always is). He was crushing it on the dance floor when he dropped it a little too low and ripped his pants (pictured above haha). Annie was sold after one look at that booty and a dance to the song "One less problem" By Ariana Grande. She told her future bridesamid (Tori Cunnginham) that she was going to marry Steve that night at the hotel :) Steve also told his mom he found ~the one~ the next day at home in Iowa City. WOW must have been one good wedding/dance because by 1 am he had 1/3 of his pants and his future wife :)Steve didn't even last 48 hours without contacting Annie after the wedding. By 7/18/2015, their first date was set up via Instagram DM, a modern love story.The rest is pretty much history... lots of fun nights in Iowa City, summers traveling, and years of visiting each other in their new cities.

How We Met

WE CAN'T WAIT TO CELEBRATE WITH YOU GUYS!!! We expect everyone to go just as crazy on the dance floor on 7/2/22 as Steve did on 7/11/15 &lt;3Lets get this party started!
