Our Wedding

January 2015 Matthew started at Illinois State University.

Juggling long distance was not easy but it made our love grow stronger. About every other weekend to every three weekends, we were driving to one another to celebrate accomplishments, weddings, birthday parties, Country Thunder, etc.

Matthew and Katie officially became PROFESSIONAL wedding guests. It was fun to envision what our wedding would be like one day.

Then came the big surprise....MATTHEW PROPOSED!!!!! He proposed at ISU on the quad. Such a special place for them!

And here we are today...getting ready to walk down the aisle to start our new life together in this new chapter of our lives. Our story wouldn't happen if it wasn't for each and every one of you! Thank you for being apart of our story!
