It started like any normal Summer night in 2013. Molly was celebrating with her family and friends at her parents’ barn, singing karaoke until the early hours of the morning. Matt and his friends were hanging out, just a mile down the road, when they heard the music coming from that rocking barn. Curious, they drove on down to join the party. It was the night that Matt met Molly for the first time and little did they know, it was the beginning of a lifetime together.

After two years of dating, Matt proposed on Christmas Eve as the two were opening presents. Molly reached for the gifts Matt had for her and she remembers the moment like it was yesterday, “I first read the letter that Matt wrote to me, laughing and crying at the memories he brought up, his feelings so eloquently put into words. I next opened a digital picture frame and when it turned on, I watched (while still laughing and crying) as so many wonderful pictures and memories of us played. At the end, it said ‘Will You Marry Me?’ and I looked at Matt to see him on his knee with a ring. I, of course, said ‘YES!’ through more tears and smiles. I remember sitting next to him with such a combination of happiness, peace and truly just feeling as if my heart could burst!”

Now these two are busy planning their beautiful barn wedding! But whenever they have free time, they love eating breakfast together at their kitchen table every morning, feeding their calves, playing with their dogs, working on their home, and watching Wisconsin Public Television. I visited their home in Oshkosh for their fun Engagement Session and we explored the brightly colored downtown streets, spent time at Molly’s parents’ barn, then finished up by visiting Matt’s steers! We had an amazing time and I could not stop smiling as I drove back home to Green Bay that evening.

Congratulations Molly & Matt! I just know your September wedding is going to be incredible!
