Camo-wearing bowhunters say 'I do' in tree in Iowa

ANAMOSA, Iowa — An Iowa couple whose passion for bowhunting encouraged Cupid's arrow to strike wore camouflage to blend in with the wooded backdrop at their treetop wedding.

Kim Silver, 42, dressed in a silk gown made by camouflage specialists Mossy Oak, and her groom, Marvin Hunter, 61, was dressed in camo shirt and pants at the Saturday nuptials.

They said their vows atop a tree stand hunting platform at the Anamosa Bowhunters Archery Club in the state's northeast. The bride and groom occasionally punctuated the ceremony by firing arrows at targets.

Hunter said the couple had always joked about getting married on a tree stand. Silver said they hunt together so much the camo wedding "just seemed like the right thing to do."
