Matt and Kelly first met at Mizzou at the most romantic place on campus: the beer-laden dance floor of Room 10 at Phi Kapp. Kelly had the courage to make initial introductions and while their first encounter was short lived, that fateful night would set the foundation for one hell of ride. Flash forward 4 years, Kelly is back home after working for Disney and Matt is living out of a suitcase selling water treatment chemicals with a home base in Hays, KS. One fateful night the two found themselves in a familiar setting- another sticky floor with the smell of beer in the air. This time at a bar in Kansas City. Matt spotted Kelly from across the room and conveniently bumped into that cute girl he met back in Room 10. That night changed everything. Matt's weekends were focused on trips to KC to see one person, but soon, weekends just weren't enough. Once again it was Kelly who took the lead and said, “either we’re dating, or I’m moving on.” Matt agreed and soon decided to move back home and begin a new adventure with a companion. Over the past three years Matt and Kelly have formed a partnership built on exploring each other’s values, interests, and hobbies. Fishing at the Ozarks, drinking around the world at Epcot, acting a fool in the parking lot of Arrowhead, ice skating at Crown Center, and of course, tearing up the dance floor at every wedding they've been to. The cherry on top of everything is that their friends and family have been along for the ride the entire time. Bring your A-game come December 18th; all gas, no brakes.
