The story of this power couple began in the Summer of 2019. This is where their paths started to cross more frequently outside of frisbee. While they originated as somewhat distant friends, they hadn’t created a strong connection. Matt had heard rumors of the Princess’ powerful presence, but he had not experienced it in a social setting before. Once Jackie showed her true infectious personality to Matt, the two became inseparable as friends. The bride and groom did not know right away what would come out of their new friendship, but they would be in for a pleasant surprise.

Fast forward to the fall where Matt was knighted by the University of Central Florida. He would commute 2.5 hours one way. Where most would dread this long drive, Matt looked forward to it because it meant he got to talk on the phone with his friend, Jackie. They would talk about anything and everything, but most of the time Jackie would watch Steven Universe (Matt’s favorite show), and Matt would just listen in the background. Phone calls would become a tradition every drive home until the Knight arrived at his humble abode.

To justify the frequency and length of the phone calls, the Princess and the Knight made an agreement to converse and mingle in person. The activities included, but were not limited to: going to the movies, lunch, grocery shopping, and theme parks; arts and crafts; board games; and so much more. The bond between the two started to become powerful enough to declare their courtship, and that’s exactly what they did in January of 2020.

After 4 years of improving as a couple and as individuals while participating in the COVID Olympics, completing an unnecessary amount of escape rooms, and, yes, plenty of Ultimate Frisbee, the Princess and her Knight are ready to take the next step in their relationship. They ask that you share this day with them as you have shared the last four years with them - standing off to the side in awe of their radiance.
