Our Wedding

We met junior year of college! I (Addy) went to Point Park and Matthew went to Duquesne in Pittsburgh. Mutual friends through Young Life brought us together. We hit it off right away from our first date which took place at Dave &amp; Andy's Ice Cream shop. (There's a funny story about how Matthew asked me out on this date. Ask us sometime). We became fast friends an our feelings for each other grew. On Light Up Night in downtown Pittsburgh on November 17th, 2017 Matthew asked me to be his girlfriend and fireworks went off as soon as I said "yes!" On January 3rd, 2019, we were skiing at Seven Springs I told Matthew I love him for the first time. (Yes, I said it first! There's a good story here too). I knew that he was my best friend, the love of my life. Over the years, we have celebrated many milestone moments together such as college graduations: both undergrads and Matthew's doctorate. On December 19th, 2020 Matthew proposed! He took me to a gorgeous spot on the Montour Trail. (More great stories here). I was absolutely shocked. Matthew had fireworks go off the moment I said "yes!" It was so special, one of the best weekends of our lives getting to celebrate with our families. We have had an incredible journey together so far. Looking back, we can see how God has been with us every step of the way! We are two imperfect people and we wouldn't be where we are today without God's power in our lives. We can't wait to make our vows to each other in front of our most important people. Thank you for being a part of our special day, the first day of our Forever! Love you all. #StarksFly
