Our Wedding

Our story began when we were teenagers. We met in 2011 at Stevenson Middle School located in San Antonio, Texas. We were both in the same friend group, but barely spoke a word to each other. One day, one of our mutual friends invited us to their birthday party on 8/12. Matthew and I grew comfortable in getting to know each other and we had one of the longest conversations that day. A year later, we attended different high schools, Matthew attended O’Connor and I went to Health Careers high school. For the next three years, we went our separate ways without staying in touch. It wasn’t until our senior year of high school that we saw each other again for the first time at Prestige Portraits. Saturday, July 9, 2016, was the day that both our lives changed forever. After running into each other at Prestige Portraits for our mandatory senior year pictures, we hit it off from that day forward. We talked all day every day non-stop. We went on our first date two days later and the rest is history! We started dating in August of 2016 and our love for each other has grown every year. After all the adventures, we are ready for this new chapter in our lives. Thank you for being a part of it. Now its time to celebrate!
