Over the years, we have had many couples who have met online. But, with Emily and Wilson, we have our first ever couple who met on a Zoom class for school. Once they started dating, it was clear to them that they were destined to be together. Because they live in Iowa (where Wilson is attending medical school), we never had the chance to meet them in person before the wedding weekend. I (Joel) spent a few hours with them and their family and friends during their rehearsal dinner at the Anheuser-Busch Brewery, and after seeing how much they clearly care for the people in their lives…and hearing the speeches given by some of those people, it left no doubt how amazing the actual wedding was going to be…and it was. The day was filled with love and non-stop celebration of this amazing couple, and there was zero doubt that everyone was thrilled about these two joining their lives together.
The entire took place at St. Louis Union Station which is still to this day one of my top two favorite wedding venues in all of Saint Louis (you cannot make me chose a favorite between here and the Fox Theater). And from start to finish, the day went off without a hitch. Granted…much of that comes down to the incredible planner Sabrina from Proposing Dreams (who is among the best of the best anywhere) and St. Louis wedding legend Jimmy Hussey from A Rockin’ DJ and the staff at Union Station, but the rest all goes to Emily and Wilson and their crew who were absolutely incredible to celebrate with.
Here’s some of our favorites from the day to give you a visual story of it all. Congrats to Emily and Wilson!
