As of tomorrow, Matt and I will have been together for seven years. Wow. October 12th was the first time we had an in-depth conversation, and we really haven’t stopped talking since then (slash I haven’t stopped talking because I always seem to be interfering with Matt’s school work:)) Just a couple of weeks before the 12th is when Matt and I first met. And since Matt already went through the trouble of writing out the story for our wedding website, it only seems appropriate to share it with you guys.
The story of how we met, according to Matt
And saw her I did. Many times, in fact, during that final Spring at Davidson. In cadence with the Azaleas outside of Commons, our relationship blossomed and as they say, the rest is history. Well, not quite. The rest has been some of the most amazing 6.5 (yes, six and a half) years of my life. From climbing Mont Royal in Montreal to Squaw Peak in Arizona, life with Laura has reached such incredible heights.

I've created this blog because I'm in a bit of a quarter life crisis. Since graduating from college in 2008 and earning an advanced degree in school psychology in May, I still don't know what career path to follow. All I know is that time is moving way too fast and I find myself living only for the weekends. Bear with me as I attempt to reclaim my twenties by finding pleasure and balance in the work week and incorporating my passions of food, fashion, fitness, and fun into everyday life. 
My favorite part of this story is always the retainer!
Can’t wait for the wedding!
Your story put a smile on my face
I’m glad:)
Congratulations! Love that it was a “dark and stormy night”, also love the picture he paints by describing the “in cadence with the azaleas outside the commons”!

If Matt had not seen the glint of your retainer in that pitch black room, who knows how your life might be different.
