Intimate Fall Forest Wedding
Holly and Matt – October 7, 2024
From the Bride
We met on Facebook. Matt sent me a Facebook message cause I popped up on his people you may know list. We had mutual friends and I guess that’s why I popped up and he said that something told him to send me a message ( he said I was the prettiest girl he had ever laid eyes on) so he said he decided to shoot his shot and send me a message and hope for the best. The moment I looked at the message I thought who is this and I started investigating who he was and seen he was a mutual friend of my best friend so I immediately called her over to me (we were actually working together at the time) and said who is this Matt guy and turned my phone around and she told me about him. We started talking that day and from that day forward we have been inseparable!!!!
For our first date we did a date day cause I had the day off of work and my son had a dr appointment later that afternoon so we met up and he took me to see a waterfall and we got out and it was misting rain and he took his jacket off and covered me up so I wouldn’t get wet and then we took some pictures and then we went and just spent the day together until I had to head back to take my son to his appointment.
Matt proposed!!! We went and picked out the ring at the end of January and I knew that he had the ring I just didn’t know when he was gonna do it. Our anniversary was coming up 2/3 and then Valentine’s Day so I wasn’t sure which he would do it on. I was actually off 2/1 from work and he told me he was gonna take the day off also and we would spend the day together I thought nothing of it cause he would do that from time to time. So we get some where and get out of the truck and we are hiking and we keep hiking and hiking up this mountain all this time I’m complaining asking what we are doing, where we are going and what we are seeing and he just keeps staying behind me saying it wasn’t far and I kept saying we have hiked a pretty good ways and there is nothing to be seen, but a steep mountain. So we finally give up and turn around and come back down the mountain and he still continues to stay behind me (still I’m thinking nothing of it) FINALLY we see the waterfall that he was taking me to see (lol) I think he was so nervous that we just passed it up to start with. Well I walked on down to the waters edge and I’m looking back and forth looking where the waterfall is I’m just admiring how pretty everything is. Eventually I think to myself man I’ve been down here a while where is Matt and I turn around and he is on one knee and he proposed to me. I cry and he was a shaky mess!!!! The best day of my life!!!!
Originally we had thought about getting married at the beach, but we wanted our families to be able to come. We live in East Tennessee so we decided to just do it here. On our wedding day i look for to being all dolled up in my wedding dress and walking down the aisle to seeing Matt at the end. For Matt he said seeing me come down the aisle in my dress.
We like to watch movies together. Typical date night is going to eat and maybe shopping. We like to go to lake and take my boys fishing.
