Our Wedding

We met in 2020—yes, during the pandemic. When things started to open back up, we found ourselves navigating the new world of “remote everything” and, fortunately for us, remote dating. When we finally had our first date, it was a total surprise: we ended up staying out until 4 a.m. (which, if you know Megan, is borderline unheard of). The next morning, we both texted each other saying it felt like a fever dream. But, despite the late-night talk fest, something just clicked. When we started dating, working remotely gave us the flexibility to do something we hadn’t expected: travel. Over the next year, we found ourselves spending a month at a time in places like South Carolina and Colorado. Our favorite? Colorado, without a doubt. We both fell in love with the mountains (even if it meant Megan was the entertainment while Matt did all the driving). We’ve now made the drive to Colorado twice—30 hours one way—and it’s been an adventure every time. Along the way, we picked up two dogs—Sadie and Lilo—who were the perfect additions to our family, and in 2023, we bought our first house. It felt like a big step, but one we were more than ready to take. Then, in June 2024, Matt popped the question and we started planning our wedding… but life had other plans. In August, Megan’s grandmother entered hospice, and we knew we wanted her there with us, so we decided to pull together a wedding in Megan's grandparents' backyard. We had just a week to make it happen, but thanks to some amazing friends and family, it turned into a day we’ll never forget. We couldn’t have done it without our incredible support system: the Baade family (who brought all the tables, chairs, and made sure we had everything we could ever need - including a wedding dress!), my best friends Veronica and Trish (who handled hair and lashes), and our parents and siblings who of course were incredibly supportive as we made this happen and it turned into an intimate, beautiful celebration. While it wasn’t the wedding we thought we’d have, it was the one we needed. It was simple, meaningful, and surrounded by love. And in the end, it was just perfect.So here we are, looking back at everything we’ve been through, grateful for the journey we’ve had together so far. We’ve learned a lot, laughed a lot, and built something really special. We’re so excited to celebrate not only the marriage but the journey with everyone we love!
