Morgan grew up in Des Moines, attended Roosevelt High School, and went on to study education at Iowa State University. Joey grew up in Ankeny, attended Ankeny High School, and also went on to study at Iowa State. (Go Clones!) Once in Ames, Joey and Morgan met through mutual friends, and would remain acquaintances through their college years.

~ After College ~

Morgan graduated, moved back to Des Moines, and went on to teach in the Des Moines and Waukee school districts. Joey graduated, moved to downtown Des Moines, and accepted a job with Bankers Trust. Separately – they would both travel the world, enjoy an active lifestyle, and make the most of what experiences, events, and activities Iowa could offer!

~ 4 years later ~

Joey and Morgan crossed paths again in the summer of 2020, and they had a lot of catching up to do! In the passing years they had developed many of the same interests – so Joey asked Morgan out on a date to find out more! In a year of shutdowns, going on dates demanded creativity. For two active people, this proved to be a strength – and Joey and Morgan quickly became best friends! They enjoy biking, kayaking, golfing, and traveling together – and have a shared love for cooking, good food, strong cocktails, and events around Des Moines! Their family has grown by two dogs (Mazi & Arnie) and they all live together in Polk City. The happy couple is excited to celebrate their upcoming marriage with all of you!
