Welcome to our wedding website! We are Shari and Matthew, and we are thrilled to have you join us on this incredible journey. What began as a virtual connection while playing video games blossomed into a beautiful love story that we are excited to share with you.

Our paths crossed in the digital realm, where pixels and adventures brought us together. Little did we know that those virtual encounters would lay the foundation for an unbreakable bond. As we spent countless hours gaming, laughter turned into friendship, and friendship evolved into love.

Our relationship grew deeper, and our connection became inseparable. We discovered that we not only shared a love for gaming but also a multitude of interests, hobbies, and values. We cherish our time together, whether it's exploring new places, embarking on thrilling adventures, or simply enjoying the simple pleasures of life.

But the true joy of our lives is our son, Alexandr. He has brought immeasurable happiness and an abundance of love into our lives. Our journey as parents has further strengthened our commitment to each other and solidified our family bond.

Now, as we stand on the precipice of a new chapter, we are filled with overwhelming excitement. Our long-awaited wedding day is finally approaching, and we couldn't be happier to share it with our beloved family and friends. The support and presence of each and every one of you mean the world to us.

On October 25th, 2025, we will be exchanging vows at the beautiful Elks Lodge in Ames, IA. It will be an enchanting celebration of love, surrounded by the beauty of nature and the warmth of our loved ones.

As we embark on this incredible journey together, we invite you to be a part of our story. Your presence and well wishes will make our wedding day even more magical. We cannot wait to create lasting memories with each and every one of you.

Thank you for being a part of our lives and joining us on this extraordinary adventure. Let's make this wedding a day filled with love, laughter, and cherished moments.

With love,

Shari & Matthew
