BEAUTIFUL WEDDINGS www.DBRnews.com | Friday, June 11, 2010
by Emma Struve Kristin and De’Von Clark met almost eight years ago while both were student athletes at Iowa Central Community College in Fort Dodge. De’Von is originally from Chicago and is now the recreation director at Job Corps. Kristin grew up in the Denison area and is employed at Sundquist Engineering. They became engaged about three years ago, though Kristin admitted they did not start planning the wedding until last October. Choosing a date for the wedding was a family affair. Kristin’s twin brother Chris is in the National Guard and will be deployed overseas for the third time beginning in August. It was very important, she said, to have him and his family involved in their wedding, which took place in May. “We wanted it out at Boulder’s because we wanted it in town. All the family is from out of state,” Kristin said. “There’s a hotel right there…It’s beautiful out there.” Kristin purchased her wedding gown at Bridal Balcony in Denison. It was one of the first two dresses she tried on. The ceremony was at First United Methodist Church and the reception took place at Boulders Conference Center. Before the wedding took place, Kristin and De’Von hosted a rehearsal dinner at the Lookout Shelter at Yellow Smoke Park. “We grilled and played games,” Kristin said. HOMETOWN WEDDING . . .
