This post requires just a liiiitle bit of backstory, so bear with me. ;)
I've known Joria for years— probably ever since my family moved to Iowa, fifteen years ago. We were in the same age group in the local homeschool co-op, and then in 9th grade I ended up in public school for high school, and rarely saw her. Fast forward a few years, and I decided to attend a local community college...same as Joria! We even had a class together freshman year, and quickly reunited as good friends.
Back up again for a minute, though, and let me introduce our leading man! I remember when Ben's family moved to Cedar Falls. They visited our 4-H club and although I don't remember much of Ben, I remember his sister Mari Ella. ;) Then, lo and behold, a few years later, Ben and Joria started dating! It didn't take long for them to realize that they wanted forever...and so, back in April, Ben sent me a facebook message describing a "small, sparkly and round" surprise he had for Joria. All of my insides screamed really loud & excitedly...and the next thing I knew, I was asking Joria if she "and Ben" would be willing to model for a "last minute assignment."
This is what went down that day...
this was Joria's reaction when she found out this was a planned event and not actually an assignment;)
Ben & Joria, you two are truly wonderful! Enjoy this in-between time...and I can't wait for your August wedding!
xoxo,
Amelia
