It remains to this day such a wonderful story...and really it is a single sentence that I still remember and will always be my memory of when we first met.

I met Matt at my best friend's wedding. He was the brother of the groom and there he was dancing with the flower girl, his niece, Vanessa. His smile and fun attitude made her smile from ear to ear and it seemed like everyone that was around Matt would walk away happier that they met him. I wanted to talk to him so bad and I noticed throughout the day an exchange of glances between us but I was so shy. Then Vanessa came up to me, the cutest little girl, holding a note, she handed it to me and then quickly ran away. 

"We should be dancing & smiling together! ~ Matt"

That's all it took and we have been together to this day. We are so much in love and can not wait to share our special day with all of our family and friends.
