Local love: Dan Giles and Alexa Morelli

Dan Giles and Alexa Morelli married on Aug. 31, 2024, at the historic Hotel Fort Des Moines in a celebration befitting its grand aesthetic. After a ceremony under the chandeliers and a toast from the champagne tower, guests took over the lively dance floor.

“My favorite memory of the day was seeing Alexa come down the aisle,” Dan said. “We didn’t do a first look, so when she walked down the aisle, that was the first time I saw her. She looked beautiful and will be a forever memory for me.”
