Our Wedding

Zoe and Joshua met mainly through mutual friends when Zoe was a sophomore and Joshua was a freshman at Drake University. She was showing a mutual friend around the sophomore dorms and Joshua tagged along. The two would then see each other all the time at frat parties, and at Kappa Psi functions over the next couple of years. Zoe definitely had a bit of a crush on Joshua, but he was not totally feeling it at the time

The Friendship

Once COVID hit and everything was on lockdown, Zoe soon found herself hanging out at Joshua’s house almost every single day. The two worked as hospital pharmacy interns and it just made sense to quarantine together, right? The two would order takeout all the time and bonded over their love of storm chasing videos. June 14, 2020: The two double dates with their close friends, Nick and Barret, at the Iowa Tap Room. On the drive home, Zoe told Barret all about that this time hanging out with Josh felt different and that there was a spark. Later that evening, Josh asked Zoe to be his girlfriend!

The Fling

Over the next 3 years, Zoe and Joshua had the best of adventures. This included trips to Colorado, Florida, Las Vegas, and Hawaii. While Zoe did most of her last year of pharmacy school out of state and away from Joshua, they FaceTimed almost every single night and it made long distance easy. Once the two graduated from pharmacy school, they moved to Spokane, Washington so Zoe could start residency. The two adopted a cat, Olive to accompany Zoe’s other cat, Raisin.

The Relationship

Zoe was highly suspicious that Joshua was going to propose soon. She liked to poke a little fun that she was ready for a proposal, and joked that she would say yes if he proposed with a Ring Pop. On May 13, 2023, Joshua took Zoe to a lantern festival in Post Falls, Idaho. Zoe’s best friend Barret was in town visiting, and she knew something was up. Once the sun set, everyone lit up and released thousands of lanterns into the sky. Josh got Zoe’s attention and showed her a ring box that he 3D printed himself in the shape of a Ring Pop, and right then and there asked Zoe to marry him!

The Proposal

Our Story

Photos

There's not much to say here..Sophie is Zoe's younger sister, and the choice to have her as a maid of honor was an easy one! Even though Sophie made Zoe drink out of a hummingbird feeder when she was 12, and accidentally gave her a bloody nose in the Cancun airport, she will forever be Zoe's favorite brother.

Sophie Kedrowski

Josh and Aden met when they were 7 and 8 years old and have been best friends ever since. The two stay up super later on the phone with each other playing video games, despite being several states away!

Aden Clearwater

Zoe and Barret met at a fraternity formal during the first year of pharmacy school, and have been inseparable ever since! From having to walk miles back to the car after a music festival in Iowa to drinking around the world at Epcot to Barret photographing the proposal, they've had the best of adventures!

Emily and Zoe met in 9th grade after Zoe sent Emily an awkward friend request on Facebook. Emily makes Zoe laugh harder than anyone she has ever met, and couldn't imagine her wedding day without her! Their best memories come from our choir trip to LA senior year, and reminiscing over the death of Harambe after all these years.

Emily Weinberg

Jack Hart

Natasha is Zoe's 12 year old half sister - the two have become a heck of a lot closer as Natasha gets older! The best memories come from snorkeling in Hawaii and spending time together as a family.
