We met in the fall of 2019 and have been inseparable ever since. Over the last six years, we’ve built a beautiful life together filled with countless memories. At the time, Bailey was finishing college at Kennesaw State, and Matt was just beginning his career at Norfolk Southern. We’ve had the privilege of growing up together and navigating life’s milestones side by side.

Last year, on vacation in Jamaica, Matt proposed on the beach on the fifth anniversary of the day we met—November 7th. It was the most special and surreal moment, perfect in every way. Bailey’s engagement ring is built onto her late grandmother’s wedding band, making it even more meaningful.

In the most full-circle way, our wedding is bringing us back to where it all began. The first Christmas gift Matt ever gave Bailey in 2019 was a surprise trip to Asheville to see the Biltmore Estate during the holidays. It was magical then, and it feels even more special now to be planning our wedding at a place that was part of our very first Christmas together.

We are more in love today than ever and feel so grateful for the life we’ve built. Surrounded by our closest friends and family, we can’t wait to celebrate this next chapter in such a beautiful and meaningful place. Thank you for being a part of our journey—we are overwhelmed with love and so excited for what’s ahead!
