Jasmine Liana Powe and Nicholas Michael Ruschmann were married Sept. 7 at the Baltimore Museum of Art in Maryland. The Rev. Rodney V. Rice, an Episcopal priest, performed the ceremony.
Mrs. Ruschmann, 30, is a regional sales manager for Rxbar, a maker of whole food protein bars, in Chicago. She graduated from Elon University in Elon, N.C.
She is a daughter of Dorothy Holliday Powe of Lutherville-Timonium, Md., and Dr. Neil R. Powe of Oakland, Calif. The bride’s father, an internist, is the chief of medicine at the Zuckerberg San Francisco General Hospital and the Constance B. Wofsy distinguished professor of medicine and a vice chairman of medicine at the University of California, San Francisco. Her mother recently retired as a director of investor relations at McCormick & Company, a maker of spices, seasonings and flavorings, in Hunt Valley, Md.
Mr. Ruschmann, 26, is a senior assistant superintendent at Ruffled Feathers, a Pete Dye golf course in Lemont, Ill. The groom graduated cum laude from Ohio State University.
He is a son of Cynthia A. Ruschmann and Michael Ruschmann of Dayton, Ohio. The groom’s mother is a respiratory therapist at Miami Valley Hospital South in Centerville, Ohio. His father is an open heart robotic surgical registered nurse at the Kettering Medical Center in Kettering, Ohio.
The couple first met in spring 2011 when Mr. Ruschmann accompanied his best friend to visit his sister, Ms. Powe’s college roommate, at Elon. Five years later Ms. Powe’s roommate was the linchpin in bringing the couple together again — first at her engagement party, where they hit it off, and then again at her wedding, after which they embarked on a long-distance relationship between Columbus, Ohio, and Minneapolis.
