Poinsett in the early 1800s.

    A Fairytale Come True November 24 2014

    Sean and Sarah

    Sioux City, IA - October 24, 2014

     

     

    Being in a Disney movie isn't the only way to find true love. Sean and Sarah are living proof of that. According to the newly married couple, true love can be found at a high school football game in Nothwest Iowa.

    In November of 2013, after 6 years of going steady, Sean had a secret plan in the works. He led Sarah to the top of the Ho-Chunk Centre in Sioux City where she was greeted by a maze she needed to complete before her future husband could drop down on one knee and propose.

    Along with true love comes a beautiful wedding. The newly-engaged couple only had 11 months to begin planning their celebratory day. With a little help from Sean, Sarah managed to plan her dream wedding the way she had always envisioned it.

    Sean and Sarah's vision came to life on October 24, 2014 in the Immaculate Conception Church in Sioux City, IA. Anyone who attended the wedding was able to be a part of something very special. With a full sanctuary full of family and friends, the couple stood before each other and exchanged their long-awaited vows. Following the wedding, their reception was located at the Stoney Creek Inn where the celebration of the newly-wed began. 

    Decorated in florals by Sunnybrook Flower Shop, the entire wedding scenery was phenomenal. After being together for over 7 years, Sean and Sarah can now enjoy the married life.
