we're getting married, y'all!

While our initial hope was to celebrate in person with our wonderful families and all of our dear friends, out of an abundance of caution, we have scaled the wedding back to a small group of immediate family and the wedding party. Please celebrate with us virtually this year knowing that you are missed and held dear in our hearts. When it is safe to get together in large groups, we look forward to hosting you at a celebration of love in the coming year. With love, Bailey and Matt

We met in 2009 doing a crazy summer internship selling books door to door. We saw each other once a week (plus a hilarious legal mishap that is only funny 10+ years later) for a summer, and then we didn't talk for 3 years. Matt moved to Costa Rica, Bailey moved to New York, and we didn't talk until Matt came home and was looking for a new place to land when he was back in the States. Bailey referred him to work with her (they had the same sales training after all), and they started getting to know each other through group lunches and after-work happy hours. We very quickly became close friends and stayed that way for the next 3 years. Frequently, co-workers and other acquaintances asked us if we were dating, much to our general confusion, but we brushed it off, over and over and over again. After a few years of "so... are you guys dating or something?" questions, we finally had a real talk about why they may be asking, and that talk has led to a beautiful, loving, supportive relationship. Four years later, it's hard for either of us to imagine life having unfolded any other way, and we're both incredibly excited to marry a great friend, loving partner, and steady rock.
