Our Wedding

Caleb and I's first date! Ice cream after The Salt Company and a sunset at Ada Hayden...classic summer in Ames date!

June 15th, 2023

A few dates later, Caleb showed up to my apartment with flowers and a huge smile on his face...this is his typical greeting :) We went bowling and talked on the balcony of the Muffin house for hours. On the way home Caleb asked me, "What would you do if I asked you to be my girlfriend?" &amp; the rest is history!

June 27th, 2023 - IT'S OFFICIAL!

My first hometown date! Caleb took me home to Anamosa to meet his parents, a few high school friends, and of course the Great Jones County Fair! We celebrated at a Jon Pardi concert and ate Iowa's best tenderloin!

July 2023

First of many ISU football games together...a Thompson family tradition! Loyal, forever, true!

August 2023

First Christmas together! Caleb had Christmas Soup for the first time...my favorite Ostendorf family recipe!

December 2023

Attended lots &amp; lots of weddings! It has been so sweet to see our friends and family get married and share in their joy. We love celebrating our people!

SUMMER 2024

Caleb proposed!!! Best day ever!! It was the most beautiful fall day surrounded by all our favorite people. We met while both attending Iowa State so it was only fitting to get engaged under the Campanile on Central Campus. A dream come true!

November 17th, 2024

Caleb and I graduated with our Bachelor Degrees from Iowa State. It was God's perfect timing that our college careers came to an end on the same weekend. Once a Cyclone, always a Cyclone!
