When Michelle met Matt for the first time on April 12, 2016 at Roasters Coffee Shop, she knew she had met someone special. The couple talked for four hours, and they scheduled their second date before the first one was even over. Michelle (28) is from La Grande, OR and has been a Labor and Delivery RN at Trios Hospital since 2015 after completing nursing school and raising Alex as a single mom for 7 years. Matt (31) is from Woodinville, WA and has been serving as a Firefighter/Paramedic for the City of Kennewick Fire Department since 2015 after working in Emergency Medical Service for 10 years. Two months after they began dating, Michelle introduced Matt to Alex. Matt won over Michelle with his awkward charm and generous character, and Matt first thought about marrying Michelle just five months after they met. The little family moved in together and enjoyed a cruise to the Bahamas in spring 2017, and the rest is history! Alex’ favorite memories of Matt over the past two years include playing board games, building legos, and going to Cub Scouts. His favorite part of the wedding so far was helping Matt pick out Michelle’s engagement ring because he wanted to make sure that Mom had the “sparkliest” ring possible. Besides officially adding Matt to the family, Alex is most excited about eating cake at the wedding party and eventually having a little brother or sister. After honeymooning next January, the couple plans to continue their education and add new members to their growing family as soon as possible!
