Elizabeth & James - A spring wedding at Hotel Julien in downtown Dubuque, Iowa


Introducing Elizabeth & James

04.05.2025


"She comes to me when I'm feelin' down

Inspires me without a sound

She touches me and I get turned around


She's got a way of showin'

How I make her feel

And I find the strength to keep on goin'


She's got a light around her

And ev'rywhere she goes

A million dreams of love surround her ev'rywhere"


-She's Got a Way by Billy Joel
