Hannah and Matt’s story began long before they ever imagined forever together. The two met in Mrs. Garcia’s kindergarten classroom and grew up side by side through every school year. In middle school, Hannah had even developed a short-term secret crush on Matt, though life took them in different directions for a while.

It wasn’t until they were both attending K-State that they began to grow closer. As Wildcats, they became good friends, and during Junior year they began attending date parties and formals together. Not long after, they started dating.

After graduation, their love story continued to grow. In 2023, they moved into their first apartment together, embracing life side by side. A year later, they took their biggest step yet: purchasing their first home. It was there that Matt got down on one knee in their new living room, surrounded by candlelight and photographs of their journey together, and asked Hannah to marry him.

Now, they can’t wait to start their next chapter as husband and wife, surrounded by friends and family who have been part of their story all along.
