How We Met

First comes school, then comes marriage.

Matt and Alicia’s love story began at Albion College in 2019. It was the spring semester when their paths first crossed in an English class in Vulgamore Hall - where Matt popped the question - and they quickly bonded. Their friends fondly nicknamed them the "Smitten Britons," a nod to Albion's cherished tradition of couples who meet on campus and fall head over heels in love. From the moment they met, Matt and Alicia knew they had something special. They spent their college years exploring the charming campus, cheering on the Britons at football games with Alicia on the field as a color guard member, and Matt as a spirited fan. Their connection grew stronger with each passing day, and they made countless memories that they will cherish forever. After graduating, their love continued to flourish as they embarked on new adventures together. Last year, they took a big step in their journey by welcoming a furry friend into their lives—Sully, a playful and affectionate dog who quickly became the heart of their home. Sully brought even more joy and laughter into their lives, and they can’t imagine their world without him. Now, Matt and Alicia are excited to take the next step in their journey as they look forward to building their future together. With Sully by their side, they are ready to grow their family and deepen their love for one another. Surrounded by the love and support of their family and friends, they can’t wait to start this new chapter as husband and wife. As they prepare to say “I do,” Matt and Alicia are filled with gratitude for the journey that brought them together and for the incredible future that awaits them. They are thrilled to celebrate their love with you and are so grateful to have you join them on their special day.
