We Are Getting Married!!

Matt moved in across the street and started asking for help with the dogs. We went from puppy vaccines and minor health advice to babysitting the dogs. Then the friendship began. Then one evening Matt invited Jennifer to go to a dog show in Nashville. Jennifer said yes, even though it was a very unique “date” that entailed sharing a hotel room for a weekend. It was a fun weekend and a couple of days after their return home Matt invited Jennifer to another dog show in Charlotte. On the way home Matt stopped by and picked up a 7 week old puppy he got from his friend. Pria rode home in Jennifer’s lap and went on to be Jennifer’s favorite and first Rottweiler puppy. Pria went to work with Jennifer every day after that, meaning Jennifer met with Matt in the mornings to pick her up and dropped her off with Matt every evening as their relationship continued to grow.

Matt secretly purchased the ring earlier in the week and picked it up 11/29 and met Jennifer’s parents within minutes of getting it. He asked her parents for their blessing. Then when he got home that evening he was so excited he could not wait to propose. Impatiently waited for Jennifer to finish cleaning and coaxed Diesel in to the room with a piece of ice. Called Jennifer in to their room and was down on his knee when she opened the door and asked her to marry him with Diesel sitting next to him. The original plan was to tie the ring to Diesel and use him as a ploy, but Jennifer’s mom told him not to because she feared Diesel would eat the ring. Turns out her fears were correct because Diesel tries to chew on the ring on Jennifer’s hand quite often.

Why get married on a Tuesday? When choosing a date we decided to go with our original first date anniversary. September 21st has been a great memory for us for the past 6 years so why not have that be our wedding anniversary as well?

Please join us to help celebrate our union at Oliver Point at Lake Lanier Islands at 5:30 pm. Followed by cocktails by the pool and a reception. We are so excited to be with our closest friends and family to celebrate!
