A look through our love story

Our Story

Engagement Photos

“I'm Whitney Boning and i am Mattalyn's built in best friend (aka little sister). In age we are five years apart but if you didn't know that about us you would think that we are closer in age. A lot of people say that we look alike and get our names mixed up... but we just go with it. I have looked up to Mattalyn my whole life, she is the best sister I could ask for! From annoying her when we were growing up to staying up in each others rooms till 3 am watching movies and talking about everything that’s going on. A huge thing that I have noticed is  how great of a relationship jaxson and Matty have. They are always so fun to be around, and are perfect for each other. I cannot wait for the future they will have together as a married couple and the future family they will have!”

"I’m Jacey, and I am Jaxson’s favorite (and only) sister. Matty and I have known of each other since her and Jaxson dated the first time around when they were jus babies, but we actually got to know each other as volleyball and basketball teammates during her first and my last year of high school. We have since bonded over our love of Lana Del Rey and have since seen her live together twice. I am so grateful for my friendship with Matty and couldn’t pick a better woman for my little brother to spend the rest of his life with. I can’t wait to welcome Matty into the family! I’ve always wanted a sister.”

“I’m Payton Chmelka and I’m Matty’s work bestie or ex work bestie (we quit). I met Matty 3 years ago when I first started working at Wine, Beer, and Spirits and I was terrified of her. Who would’ve thought that we would become best friends and inseparable 2 weeks later. We enjoy going on double dates, trying new cocktail bars, and having sleepovers!”

“I’m Megan Wehrbein. I met Matty back when we were still kids just trying to figure out life. I’ve watched her grow in her love with Jaxson and watched our friendship change from late nights out to quick phone calls to catch each other up on our new adventures. I’m so excited to watch her take on this new chapter!”

“I’m Madi Sutton. I first met Matty when I came back to Norfolk to meet the Kants for the first time. I remember being so nervous but I felt very welcomed by them and Matty right off the bat. Over the past 3 years I’ve known her, we’ve been to concerts, tubing trips, bars and Chicago, where I got to watch her get engaged to her best friend! I can’t wait to watch her and Jaxson get married and see where life takes them next!”

I’m Morgan! I have known Matty (and Jaxson!) for many years. It really all started when I was absolutely terrified of playing against Matty in junior high basketball. Once I started high school, I realized she wasn’t nearly as scary when she was on the same team as you ;) As we have grown up, we have continued to make great memories together. I am so grateful to have Matty and Jaxson in my life, and can’t wait to stand with them on their special day!

Hi, I'm Kendra. One of Matty's childhood besties.
Not like most I got the privilege of being along side both the bride and groom as they grew up.
Meeting both of them in preschool, we have gone through a lot of adventures and hard times together. Matty has always been and will always be a friend I call for advice or just for a good time!! Even as life happens Matty is constantly there for me and a huge joy in my life. I'm grateful to get to see this beautiful couple go through many chapters of their lives, and many more to come!! (:

I’m Caitlin, Matty’s college roommate! Matty and I became close very fast when we found out we loved to stay up til 3 am watching vampire diaries, which led us to moving our twin beds in our dorm room out into the living room and had sleepovers for 3 months straight.

Paragraph: My name is Alex Helfrich. I met Jaxson during our freshman year at Concordia University while playing football, and we were roommates our sophomore year. We always find something fun to do—whether it’s cooking, playing video games, talking sports, or going on trips to places like Colorado, Nebraskaland Days, or Omaha for the CWS. Jaxson is one of the best men I’ve had the privilege of meeting and someone I will call a friend for life. Before I met Matty, Jaxson always spoke so highly of her, and it was clear how much she meant to him. The first time he introduced me to Matty, it was immediately evident that she was an absolute joy to be around. She is incredibly sweet and welcoming, and I’m so excited for them to begin their journey as husband and wife. I wish them all the best as they build a life together full of love, laughter, and adventure.

Jaxson and I first met as teammates at Concordia University, but we didn’t really get to know each other until he was looking to move off campus—and I needed a roommate. Little did I know, the house was also gaining a personal chef and a walking world history book. Not long after, he introduced me to Matty, and it was immediately clear that these two were a perfect match. It’s truly a blessing to have them in my life, as they bring out the best in each other and everyone around them!

I’ve known matty for a little over three years, while we worked together at wine beer and spirits. when I first came into the store I was very shy, but matty took me under her wing and got me out of my shell. I was only scared of Matty for around a year, but realized she isn’t actually that scary. Not too far into working together she introduced me to Jaxson, which turned into late night drinking and lots of insulting each other. I would have to say that now Jaxson and I have such a good relationship that it’s probably better than his and Mattys. I am so excited for the future matty and Jaxson will have together, and to raise a full glass with them

Matty and I met by working together at the wonderful place known as Wine, Beer, and Spirits in Lincoln when I decided I needed to get a job while in school. Now at first I definitely thought she hated me but we quickly developed that brother-sister relationship once we both took over as lead bartenders and the rest is history. Once she introduced Jaxson to all of us at work we wanted to play video games with him so we would bug her to get him to play with us. I’ve had the pleasure to be along their journey and am so excited for them.
