Our Wedding

Hello Family and Friends

Matt proposed to Nicole following Thanksgiving Day mass in Mary's Garden at the Basilica of the National Shrine of Immaculate Conception in Washington D.C. on November 24, 2016. In early October, Matt surprised Nicole by taking her out to pick her engagement ring – she couldn't have been more excited! It was at this time that Matt had reserved West Point's Most Holy Trinity Chapel for May 6, 2017. During a month long training exercise in October and November, Matt diligently worked to find the "right" diamond to mount on Nicole's engagement ring. Matt also called Nicole's father, COL(R) Patrick Toffler to ask for his daughter's hand in marriage – luckily COL(R) Toffler accepted Matt's request! Following the training exercise, Matt returned to Washington D.C. for the long Thanksgiving weekend to spend time with Nicole and meet more of her family. Unbeknownst to Nicole, Matt had planned the engagement day in excruciating detail with the help of Nicole's mother, Nina, and her older brother, Glenn. Most importantly, Matt had coordinated with Glenn and his wife, Maddy, to video record and take pictures of the proposal.Following his arrival into Washington D.C., Matt changed into a suit for Thanksgiving Day mass. Nicole did not understand why Matt was wearing a suit but Matt was able to convince her to dress up as well.Following mass, Matt texted Glenn letting him know that they were "on the move." As Matt walked with Nicole towards Mary's Garden, he explained the history and importance of the garden. (The location had been recommended by a close friend – Thank you Mark Dwyer!) As they approached the garden center, Matt could see Glenn and Maddy hiding in the rose bushes – everything was ready to go. Matt led Nicole to the center statue of Mary and as she focused her attention on the statue, Matt took a step back to prepare to propose. Nicole sensed Matt had left her side so she spun around and saw Matt fumbling with the ring box in his coat pocket. She was so excited she immediately hugged Matt with the biggest smile. Matt had to physically push Nicole back so he had enough space to kneel, say a few words, and ask for her hand in marriage. Meanwhile, Glenn and Maddy had repositioned themselves with the camera right next Nicole and Matt. Nicole said "Yes!"and then realized Glenn and Maddy were recording the entire proposal. Nicole could not have been happier!
