WE (LITERALLY) CAN'T WAIT TO CELEBRATE WITH YOU!! *10/10/2020*

Little did we know that our mutual love of history would eventually bring us together... Karin and Matt met on September 16th, 2016 as participants in the Ridley Creek Civil War reenactment that year. While they both portrayed opposing sides, that was not enough to keep them apart. During a party at the event, attended by both the Union and the Confederates, Karin and Matt were finally able to meet for the first time. In pure Karin and Matt fashion, their interactions that night were filled with humor and surprise. Whether it was Karin dropping Matt's phone number...multiple times (I'm sure it wasn't on purpose...), the first words spoken to Karin by Matt, or fact they stood in the parking lot until 4 in the morning just talking and getting to know each other, something sparked in both them that night, and they knew life would never be the same. For the first year of dating, Karin and Matt were driving between states several times a week just to see each other for a few hours at a time. While it was tough, the hours they were able to spend together made it all worth while. After about a year and a half, Karin and Matt moved into their first place together in Telford, PA. They adopted their first cats (Kevin Costner in Waterworld and Randy Bo Bandy) soon after and began their own household together. Over the next 2 years, Karin and Matt took trips around the United States and Europe, visiting historical American battlefields and quaint European towns. They participated in Civil War reenacting and also joined the Souderton Telford Historical Society together. They began participating in chili cook-off's and other local community activities, and they love working on their garden together. On May 15th, 2020, with the amazing help of family and friends, Matt proposed to Karin at a surprise engagement at the Country Creek Winery. Today, Karin and Matt are counting the days until their wedding, and looking forward to seeing you all there!
