Here Comes the Bride and Groom --My Son's Wedding Aug. 22, 2020

 Hello! I thought I would share some photos of my son's wedding on Saturday, Aug. 22nd. After a number of changes due to the pandemic, Matthew and Monica chose a beautiful park in Iowa City, Iowa called Harvest Preserve for their wedding venue.

Monica's brother Forrest Douglass officiated. Monica's father "walked her down the aisle" in a wheelchair pushed by one of Monica's brothers. Beautiful heartfelt vows were exchanged. The large wedding party was chosen well before the virus so they made up a lot of the guest list. The couple was beautifully supported by friends and family!
