Matt and Hannah
Wedding Party

Hannah and Matt/Charlie met through my inadvertent introduction. I think they both agree that it was one of the best mistakes I ever made. I’m so thankful for their friendship, getting to see them grow together and closer to Yahweh, and that they’re entering this covenant surrounded by love and support. May he bless and keep you two.

Most people expected Hannah to be my babysitter, I was in kindergarten and she was 4 years older than me. But soon we were having sleepovers watching Scooby-Doo, playing Webkinz, and the next thing we knew we were BFFs! Every time we catch up, I'm reminded of how excited Hannah is to love the people around her and I am blessed to have been her friend all these years.

I met Matt when I came on staff at Oklahoma Baptist University. Shortly after, we became great friends where we spent most of our time critiquing television, playing video games, and annually sending each other top 5 lists of the best entertainment of the year. I consider Matt one of my best friends in the world and can think of no other person's passenger seat I'd rather throw up in.

I've known Matt for almost my whole life. We met when we were two and grew up together. Matt and I kept in contact through texting and Skype while he was in Korea. I had the pleasure of visiting Charleston last April and also got to meet this amazing woman, Hannah. I am so excited to be a part of their special day. Love you both!

I met Boosh (Hannah) at Joe Ray's house, and continued to hang out with her through DND. That’s also where I met Charlie (Matt) and now we’re the three best friends that anyone could have. Also I remember totally shipping “Choosh” (copyright Tony Linog 2017) the first night I saw them talking on New Year’s Eve last year. Big loves, much Yahweh, so blessed!!! #choosh2018

I met Hannah and Matt at D&D. Then everything changed when the Fire Nation attacked.

I first met Hannah during grad school but really got to know her when we started going to church together. Hannah and I bonded over conversations about boys, both those from real life and those from our favorite TV shows. When I first met Matt over dinner last summer, it was evident that he and Hannah complement each other so well. I am excited to be a part of their big day (and the rest of their lives)!

I first met Matt when he moved into my apartment building in Korea. We went on many adventures together including trips to the best Korean restaurants, searching for his lost cat Zoey, many trips to the Board Game Cafes and running into his student at the sauna.
