We are so excited to FINALLY celebrate with you!

Matt and Frankie met early on freshman year of college and became fast friends. While it took these two some time, they finally got their act together and started dating in January 2012. A year later they adopted their perfect dog, Truman. With any free time they could scrape together, college years were spent camping along the Pacific Northwest. Matt took Frankie on adventures in his childhood stomping grounds (PNW) and Frankie showed Matt... her weird personality? After college Frankie got a job traveling around North America working with her favorite animals, sharks and rays. Soon after Matt was accepted to Coast Guard OCS, joining the fleet May 2016. After a year and half living on opposite sides of the country they moved to Matt's first station, Puerto Rico. Their love of the outdoors was fulfilled in this island paradise, spending their time together SCUBA diving, surfing, rock climbing, hiking, and generally exploring the island with all their friends who visited. After a close call with Hurricane Maria the two moved to Pensacola, Florida where Matt attended flight school. In October 2018 Matt took Frankie on a dive that will be remembered forever, not only because that is where he popped the question (underwater!), but also because it was the worst diving conditions either has ever encountered. Mother Nature just wanted to find a way to make that proposal more memorable we suppose. Then 2020 hit. We all just lived it, so here are some of our highlights in the 2 years since we originally planned this wedding. We moved to Traverse City, Michigan and could not be anymore in love with a place. Matt is flying 60s (helicopters) for the Coast Guard and loving it. Frankie is still working with sharks and rays! And after replanning too many times the wedding is back on for July 30, 2022! Be there!
