We’ve known each other for a long time—since high school, actually! Back then, we were just classmates crossing paths in hallways and sharing mutual friends. Life took us in different directions after graduation, but as fate would have it, that wasn’t the end of our story.
Years later, we reconnected at a mutual friend’s birthday party. What started as a simple “Hey, how have you been?” turned into hours of catching up, laughing, and realizing there was something special between us. Not long after, we went on our first real date—and everything just clicked. From that moment on, we knew we’d found something meaningful.
Since then, we've been inseparable, sharing countless adventures together. Whether it's spontaneous road trips, late-night talks under the stars, or trying something new. Every moment has been better because we’re together.
It was a night straight out of a dream. Shelby came home to find the house glowing with candlelight and rose petals scattered everywhere—a path leading her right into the moment of a lifetime. On the kitchen counter sat something especially meaningful to both of us: our Scrabble board. But this time, instead of a competitive game, the tiles spelled out the words that would change everything: “Will you marry me?” Matt got down on one knee and asked Shelby to marry him. She said “yes” through happy tears, and in that magical moment, our forever began.
Since that unforgettable “yes,” we’ve been soaking up every moment of engagement bliss! From dreaming up wedding plans to buying our first home together, this season of life has been full of excitement, growth, and love. We’ve been cherishing the little things, celebrating the big milestones, and continuing to build a life that reflects who we are—full of laughter, adventure, and lots of Scrabble games. We can’t wait to start this next chapter surrounded by the people we love most.
We're so excited to start this next chapter surrounded by the people we love. Thank you for being a part of this journey. We can't wait to celebrate with you!
