After Jessica and Daniel's 48-hour road trip first date, the pair knew they wanted to spend the rest of their lives by each other’s side. The intimacy of that date was reflected on their wedding day, the happy couple opting for an ultra-private elopement with only their parents bearing witness at Daniel's family cabin in Wautoma. Surrounded by tall pines, Jessica married the love of her life in a soft, layered gown with an ivory silk wrapped bouquet of white and lavender blooms in hand. In celebration, the newlyweds hopped in a vintage wooden boat named "Little Dipper" and floated on the water with champagne in hand, soaking in the first moments of married life. To cap off the special evening, Jessica and Daniel cut a vanilla frosted cake decorated with ripe summer berries in the glow of romantic candlelight, under their parents' loving gaze.
