Deanna & Nathan: A Love Story That Came Full Circle

Deanna and Nathan’s story is the kind that makes you believe in fate—and maybe laugh a little too! These two first met when they were in a mutual friend’s wedding, but back then? They couldn’t stand each other. Fast forward a few years, and that same friend decided to play matchmaker, calling them both up and saying, “Hey, you both rock. Get to know each other.” Well, they did, and the rest, as they say, is history!

Their wedding day at The Loft DSM, just northeast of downtown, was as beautiful as their love story. The Loft is one of Des Moines’ newer venues, with its spacious, rustic charm providing the perfect backdrop for a day full of emotion and celebration.

The day started with a series of unforgettable first looks. Deanna’s first look with her sons was a tearjerker—there wasn’t a dry eye in sight as the boys saw their mom glowing in her wedding dress. And when it was Nathan’s turn for his first look? Let’s just say the tissues were working overtime! From those heartfelt moments, the day transitioned seamlessly into a celebration filled with warm smiles, laughter, and love.

The ceremony and reception were a reflection of everything that makes Deanna and Nathan special: genuine connection, heartfelt emotion, and a whole lot of fun. Guests danced, laughed, and celebrated into the night, making memories as unforgettable as the couple themselves.

Deanna and Nathan, your love story is one for the books, and we are so honored to have been part of it. From the emotional first looks to the joyous party, every moment was a testament to the love you share. Here’s to a lifetime of laughter, second chances, and proving that sometimes love shows up exactly when it’s meant to!
