Immediately following the proposal.

Celebration time with friends after the engagement.

Kristi thought Matt would say he loved her on a mountain in Phoenix, he told her two weeks later. Come to find out, Matt was waiting for Kristi to say it first and Kristi was waiting on Matt.

Matt met Kristi’s extended family...and it seems he passed the test. Kristi has a secret love for vineyards since watching The Parent Trap in the late 90’s.

Can you tell Matt’s greatest fear is heights? Kristi snapped this photo of them in a glass car Ferris Wheel overlooking St. Louis City. Check out the St. Louis Arch in the background.

Matt and Kristi were in car accidents on the way to Matt asking Kristi’s Dad to marry her AND right before the proposal. Kristi took this photo in the tow truck of the first wreck.

Matt lived in Chicago and Kristi was living between Joplin and NWA, they both moved to St. Louis within six months of each other in 2012-2013. They lived in St. Louis for five years before meeting.

Matt and Kristi’s parents met for the first time. Matt grilled steaks prior to the game for everyone. Firefighters were at Matt’s house during this photo from the grill catching his deck on fire.

Lake life is Matt and Kristi’s favorite.
