Matt and Isabela met in the fall of 2014. She was beginning her exchange year in the United States. He was going into his senior year of Highschool. Isabela was staying with the Bedwell family, which was the home of one of Matt's best friends. They spent more and more time together and a spark became a flame. By the 17th of November it was official. Throughout the year they made countless memories. When Isabela's year was up and she had to return to Brazil, the couple had no idea what to expect. Neither had any idea of what was instore for them. Matt would fly to South America over the summers and Isabela would brave the snow to spend Christmas in Michigan. Eventually they realized that to create a life together, they would need to be a little closer than 5,000 miles. Isabela applied for college in the US and she was admitted. The couple spent the next 6 years together attending school and working. Then in 2022, shortly after Covid had shut down travel worldwide, Isabela's mother planned a visit. Matt and Isabela couldn't wait any longer and wanted to share their love while the whole family was present and entered a civil marriage in May of that year. Now they ask you to be a part of the next step. Isabela and Matt, inspired by their Catholic faith would like to be married in holy matrimony. Uniting their partnership with the love of God.
