Our Wedding

Matt &amp; Fiona met for the first time in 2010 through mutual friends and regularly crossed paths but it wasn't until 2021 that they came together and love blossomed! They were both at different points in their lives and dealing with the pandemic in their own individual ways. At first they leaned on each other as friends during that difficult time, however slowly that spark began to become a flame. As time progressed, both Fiona and Matt found that they shared so many of the same values that form the foundation of their relationship: family, friends, travel, music, sports, comedy and so much more. Matt and Fiona have already been through so much as a couple that has put their relationship to the test. Together they have made it through both personal and professional struggles, and losing a parent unexpectedly. Through these tough times they have formed a formidable bond that only gets stronger each day. They love, respect and support each other in every decision they make. Since their love blossomed, they have traveled to many parts of the world, shared numerous family vacations, tasted the best food and wine from every city they have visited, been to some amazing concerts and sporting events, making new memories with their friends...and this is still only the beginning. Matt &amp; Fiona are honored to share this next chapter of their lives with all of their loved ones. They hope you have the best time and can't wait to make more wonderful memories together.
