love is patient

Dear friends and family, While we are continuing with our wedding on August 7th, 2020 and have many precautions in place, we must realize that COVID-19 is still a very real risk. Please bring a mask or face covering to the wedding as you will be asked to wear one when you are indoors and not seated, or outdoors and cannot guarantee social distancing. Even if you have already RSVP-ed yes, if you are experiencing the symptoms of COVID-19 (https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/symptoms-testing/symptoms.html) or suspect you have COVID-19, we ask that you refrain from attending and contact Michelle ASAP at 443-487-7639.

Freshman year at Mount St Mary's, Matt and I found ourselves on the same trip to Hershey Park. I tagged along with Matt's friends and at one point in the day I ended up on a rollercoaster (specifically The Wildcat, aka the most headache-inducing rollercoaster at Hershey) sitting next to Matt. In the moment I thought Matt had felt bad that I was often riding solo, but I later found that he made the effort to sit with me

Julie and I planned to go to Europe together, and we decided to invite Matt as well. Fortunately we did because Matt decided to take advantage of the opportunity to propose! He planned our trip around the Golden Circle in Iceland so that he knew he would have a few options of where to ask, but he ended up asking at our first stop at the beautiful Oxararfoss waterfall
