Wedding Date on Jul 31, 2023

Marissa and Aaron first met at a livestock show in their home state of Indiana. While they hit it off, they were only 18 and 19 at the time, and moving away for college as well as other life adventures forced them to go their separate ways. They reconnected on social media, and after Marissa made a joke to Aaron about visiting her at school in South Dakota, they talked about it more, and decided to turn this into a serious, actually planned vacation. They made a trip out to Badlands National Park, and that's where they ultimately realized they were meant for each other, and why they wanted to come back out to this beautiful landscape to officially marry. Their elopement day was an amazing adventure in the Badlands, where their faith shone through in amazing ways in their ceremony.
