Though Zane Jacoby and Kate Peiffer both attended the University of Missouri, it wasn’t until after college that the pair met while supporting their alma mater at a Tiger tailgate.

Fast forward to December, when Zane and Kate officially tied the knot in an elegant winter ceremony at Emerson Fields. The ceremony itself was officiated by Anthony Alphin from the CrossingChurch. “Zane and I had such a fun day from start to finish,” Kate says.

For Kate, one of the best moments happened before the ceremony, when the couple did their first look. “We both stood out on the dock at Emerson Fields and then Zane turned around to see me in my dress for the first time,” she recalls. “It was very special because it was just the two of us out on the dock. Then we each got to read a letter that we wrote to each other.”

To make the celebration even more special, Zane’s sister was able to attend all the way from Italy, where her husband is stationed as a member of the U.S.Air Force. Kate’s two sisters served as bridesmaids and her younger brother was able to be a groomsman. He “even read a verse during the ceremony, which was unique and special for me,” Kate says.
