Matt and Katie met on a dating app in 2013. After communicating virtually for 3 months, they decided to meet in person. They spent most of their time together sharing a bottle of wine, watching their favorite television shows or movies, and talking the nights away. They learned so much about each other during those times. Some of their favorite memories together were created in the comfort of their own homes where they were free to be their authentic selves. During those beginning months of their relationship, one of their first conversations was about children. Katie was already blessed with her first-born child when she and Matthew met. Whomever was going to be in her life was going to be in her daughter's life too. Well.... Matthew did not want children and he certainly couldn't see himself getting married in the future either. So, how did we end up here today? The answer is simple. With a lot of love, laughter, and fun. As easily as Katie stole his heart, so did Brooklyn. In fact, she probably held more of Matthew's heart than Katie did. Katie fell more in love with Matthew with each and every living room dance show starring Brooklyn and Matthew. With every developmental milestone that Brooklyn reached. With every father-daughter dance held at school. With every family vacation. With every birthday party. There are countless memories that captured Matthew and Katie's heart and ultimately brought them together to fall in love and build an even bigger life together. Today, they share three children together, Brooklyn, Owen, and Ryleigh. They have created such a beautiful life and home together. Until death do they part....
