Our Wedding

<p>Matthew and Christine met February 2020 in Seattle. Their first date was 11 hours long and consisted of plentiful laughs and stories to be shared, an adventure and multiple meals. How can you beat that? How about with a 12hr Second Date!! Who knew that just a few weeks after meeting a global pandemic would shut the world down. Matthew had to go home to Indiana and they did the long distance thing for a few months and then in July of 2020 Matthew made the move to Seattle. Our love Story has survived us both getting covid as well as Christines father passing away. They have shared in many fun adventures like visiting Oregon for their first road trip together, spending the 4th of July in Washington DC, New Year in Nashville. Matthew and Christine made the decision in Spring of 2022 to move to Indiana, where on Saturday April 16th with the most perfect Sunset at a Lighthouse, Matthew got down on one knee and asked Christine to be his Bride! Of course she said, YES!!!!!! This is the beginning of our next chapter and we look forward to celebrating it with you all. </p>

Our Love Story

Our Story

Photos

Jessika and Christine have been Best Friends for 19 years. They are Soul Sisters and love their inside jokes. "That's How You Break Your Mom" (which is how they met on a bus in high school). They have been on countless adventures together and always see each other through the good and the bad. Asking Jessika to be my  Maid of Honor was a no brainer.

Laura and Christine hit it off the moment they met each other at work. Their friendship bloomed full and fast. Christine is known to Lauras daughter Johanna as, "My Christine" which is the best title to have! Laura is a kind soul and such an Amazing Best Friend. She is supportive and honest, caring and loyal. It is an honor to have her as my Matron of Honor.

Agatha and Christine met in the 8th grade and became best friends in High School. It has been a 20 year friendship with Laughter, Love, Loss and everything in between. The memories built and the stories that we can share are endless. We have been a constant support in each others lives and no matter where we are located we can always pick up right where we left. Growing families and cross country moves can't keep us separated.

Devan is Christines cousin. Boy do we have some crazy stories we can share. From the time that Devan gave Christine some rum in her bottle as a baby to Christine finally being of age to drink legally with Devan. We may have been born family but we have chosen to be best friends. Devan has been such an amazing support system for Christine throughout the years.

A few words from Alexis: "Our relationship is Fun Family. I respect you as my Aunt, but we're close like actual friends. We lift each other up, and it's easy, we naturally like the same things. You are so open, it's east to be honest with you. I know my feelings are in a safe space if I tell you something." 

My relationship with Alexis is so special and goes beyond just family. I feel so lucky to have her in my wedding party.

Amanda was one of Matts Best Friends but Christine has stolen her as her new Indiana Bestie. Amanda and Matt have been friends (Family) for 15 Years. Amanda knew that Christine was the one as soon as she saw the way Christine and Matt looked at each other.

David and Matt met in 1995  when Matt moved into the same neighborhood. They met on the bus at the beginning of the 3rd grade. They bonded over school, wrestling, and just hanging out. Through 24 years of friendship they always stayed in touch even when life took them on separate paths. David joined Matt in pro wrestling in 2005 as a referee. For a decade they would travel together to wrestling shows where they would both perform. David was the referee that Matt would always want in his ring. David became one of the best refs in the Chicago Land Area. Matt was honored to be asked to be the Godfather of Davids two sons. Although distance and work doesn't allow them to see each other often the relationship David and Matt has continues to be strong.

Rod and Matt met in 2005 on Mats first day of Training to be a Pro Wrestler. They immediately bonded over the love of wrestling. As they got to know each other they learned that they had other common interests like Marvel Movies, Basketball, and Video Games. Over the year they have been super close friends, going on road trip, sporting events and even starting their own Wrestling company. One of the best things they have done was wrestling each other for a Charity Event. The proceeds of the sales went to their mutual friend Amanda who had to undergo surgery for Cancer. They would describe each other as reliable, they know if one of them needs help the other one is always there.
