Picture of Our Story

We think that pictures are much more fun than words alone, but we will sum up "our story" in a few sentences!


We met online and went on a date. That one date turned into multiple dates, which turned into five years of dating!!


Now, we are getting married!


Enjoy the pictures!

Our first date, Kris took a pic of the pizza. It's funny that we shared this tiny pizza and decided that would be enough for the TWO of us. lol

This was also our first date. We went to an open house of this historic home and there were so many cats around. Kris was convinced this one was blind, it was also sleepy. Can you even tell this is a cat?

Matthew was completing his first sprint triathlon! Kris obviously had to make tie-dye shirts. She only bought one pack of iron on letters and had to improvise on what the shirts would say. 

Another fun fact: using a flat iron to adhere the letters on to the t-shirt also works!
