Crate and Barrel's Ultimate Wedding Contest

Our love story.

We met through a mutual friend in March 2008. Nearly a year of dating and we were faced with one of us having a life changing surgery that took us to LA to a specialist. The recovery was long and some moments just plain hard. We then faced more adversity as Matt was transferred to Houston for work. We have managed to remain committed in spite of the distance and know we can't be without each other. We look forward to being married October 30 in front of our family and friends.

Three important details about our Ultimate Wedding.

1. Being able to have our family and closest friends there. 2. On the beach (or a lake) so that Matt can be barefoot! 3. Flowers - lots and lots of beautiful purple flowers.

Our everyday dream day.

Being able to wake up each day by Matt's side, healthy, happy and content.
