Bryn + Quinn NOVE MB E R 1 4 , 2020 “Emotional. Heartfelt. Spiritual. Joyful.” This is how Bryn describes the day she married Quinn. With a change in venue three weeks before the wedding day, cutting the guest list in half, and older family members being unable to attend, it would be easy to focus on how COVID-19 disrupted their wedding day. But Bryn remains grateful, saying, “Because of COVID-19 our wedding day felt extra meaningful. We truly know that the people who were there were willing to take the risk to celebrate with us, because they love us that much.” The couple met their sophomore year of college at the University of Jamestown. Bryn, a nurse at Sanford Health’s orthopedic surgical services department, and Quinn, a physical education teacher and baseball coach, love the outdoors and staying active. Their rustic chic wedding feels like a natural extension of their love for camping, hiking and skiing. Their favorite part of the wedding? The ceremony. “It was very emotional for the both of us. We wrote our own vows and hadn’t read them to each other prior to the ceremony so that was really special.” The ceremony took place in the barn with a vintage chandelier overhead.
