Matt and Chelsea's story began at a staff Christmas party, where a little matchmaking from Matt's parents changed their lives. Matt, a soldier, and Chelsea, a teacher and coach, had never met before that night, but their chemistry was instant.

Introduced by Matt’s parents, who saw the potential for a beautiful connection, they quickly hit it off. As they chatted beneath the lights, they discovered a shared faith and values that drew them closer together.

Despite the challenges of their demanding careers and the distance between them, their love grew stronger. They supported each other through long deployments and busy school days, building a foundation of trust and devotion.

On their wedding day, Matt and Chelsea look back with gratitude on that special December night and the love that has flourished ever since. They're excited for the future and all the adventures that lie ahead, hand in hand.
