Our Wedding

Matt and Hannah have an interesting story to start you off with... ENJOY! Technically, they met on Match.com, as Hannah saw Matt's personal advertisement page (haha!) and noted he liked football, pizza, dogs, and beer. Oh, and he was pretty cute. So naturally, she sent him a message saying how she too likes football, pizza, and especially dogs. The beer part was neither here nor there. Within a couple days she got a message back, verbatim, saying, "Hi Hannah! Are you Scott Rawleigh's daughter? I'm Mike Leis' son!" Hannah, who was a poor (almost) second year teacher that lived in her parents' basement (with her older brother, might she add, so she's not the only loser), with her jaw dropped and dragging across the floor ran upstairs to tell her roommates (mom and brother, dad wasn't home) the crazy message she just received. Turned out that Hannah knew who Mike Leis was immediately when she received the message from Matt, as Mike (Matt's dad) has been friends with Scott (Hannah's dad) since they were three years old! Matt even went to the extent a message or two later to let Hannah know that he golfed with Mike and Scott that summer and Scott managed to golf the back nine shirtless... which sounds about right for Scott. They texted and talked on the phone a ton the next few days and met in person shortly after. Matt and Hannah hit it off right away and two weeks after that, on September 14th, 2019, Matt asked Hannah if she would be his girlfriend! Fast forward five and a half years, Matt asked Hannah's parents, Scott and Patti, as well as Hannah's oldest brother, Kyle, for their blessing to ask for Hannah's hand in marriage. On Tuesday, March 11th, 2025, Matt completely shocked Hannah by proposing to her at the Grand Canyon while they were on vacation in Las Vegas! To make matters even more impressive, Matt flew Hannah's best friend, Michelle, across the country from Orlando, Florida, to Las Vegas, Nevada. He set Michelle up with a hotel room and a rental car, had her drive two and a half hours to the Grand Canyon where he planned to propose, and had Michelle, in disguise, snap hundreds (literally) of pictures of the proposal and then surprise Hannah by being the "random hiker" who was willing to photograph their special moment! Naturally, Hannah looked homeless at the time of the proposal, but that just adds more humor to their story. Matt and Hannah hope you enjoyed their story and are beyond blessed and excited to continue their story beginning the next chapter with you by their sides!

Our Story

Photos

Hannah met Michelle their freshman year of college at Stout but they didn't really hit it off until their sophomore year. They have been best friends for 10 years now! Michelle is the most loyal, hilarious, ditsy bundle of love. She has helped Hannah through so many stages of life and was Hannah's surprise engagement photographer! Her selflessness is admirable and the fact she traveled across the country to surprise Hannah will never be forgotten.

Michelle Sampson

Ali is Hannah's sister-in-law, but she has been a part of the family for so long that the "in-law" part seems unnecessary at this point. Hannah's oldest brother, Kyle, has been with Ali since Hannah was only in 5th grade! She is someone Hannah highly admires and looks up to. She's an incredible sister(in-law), mother, wife, daughter(in-law), friend, you name it. Matt and Hannah can't wait to have Ali take on such an important role for the wedding!

Ali Rawleigh

Katie, also known as "Kates",  was the sister Hannah never had as a child. She has been a huge part of Hannah's life since before she even could talk! Katie is someone Hannah has always looked up to.  She is a role model, friend, sister, and mentor to Hannah. Matt and Hannah are honored to have her be a part of their wedding and wouldn't have it any other way!

Katie Guthmueller

Hannah met Joy teaching at North Branch Area High School. They were lucky enough to have classrooms right next to each other and got to know each other super well and super fast! Joy unfortunately moved at the end of that school year but the distance hasn't impacted their friendship. Matt and Hannah are pumped to see the laughter and JOY she will bring to their wedding day!

Joy Lampl

Hannah met Maggie in 2018 during her first year of teaching at North Branch Area High School. They hit it off quickly and had lots in common and have been friends since! Hannah and Maggie have helped each other out throughout the past seven years with amazing times in life and challenging times. Maggie is the definition of a loving, kind, caring friend and Hannah can't wait to have her by her side throughout the wedding planning and big day!

Maggie Jacobson

Madison is Hannah's older brother Connor's girlfriend! She is kind, compassionate, thoughtful, and hilarious! Like Connor, Madison is great at being witty and saying the perfect line at the perfect time to make everyone laugh. Hannah is so excited to have her be a part of their wedding!

Madison Lakanen

Ali is Matt's older sister, also jokingly known as the mom of the siblings! Hannah can't wait to finally and officially be sisters with Ali and "Antie Hannah" to her daughters, Luna and Ani. Matt and Hannah are thrilled to be able to have her be a part of their wedding and wouldn't have it any other way!

Ali Chapman

Tay Cray Cray as we all love to call her! Taylor is Matt's younger sister who is the life of the party! Matt and Hannah are ecstatic to have her a part of their wedding plans and wedding day. She will no doubt bring smiles, laughter, and humor to every aspect of their wedding!

Taylor Leis

Taylor is actually a former student of Hannah's. She graduated in 2020, aka, the year of no graduations. Hannah turned into a mentor to Taylor throughout high school and beyond and they stayed in touch and became friends after she graduated! Hannah is thrilled to have her a part of her special day.

Taylor Lorey

They're too old to be flower girls and too young to be real bridesmaids, but Matt and Hannah could never tie the knot without these beautiful young ladies!

Olivia, Ava, and Claire Rawleigh

What better cuties to be flower Girls than these two?!

Luna and Ani Chapman

Matt and Hannah can't wait to see this little man be on ring security for their wedding!
