Our Wedding

<p>Matt &amp; Heather met in April of 2024 at Matt's sister's wedding. It wasn't until a year later that they began talking back and forth. With Matt living in Charlotte, NC &amp; Heather in Nashville, TN the two began chatting via phone. They eventually decided to meet on a first date in downtown Franklin, TN at Grays on Main. After the first date, Matt joked with his family that he was going to marry Heather. The rest was history with the two of them traveling for close to a year back and forth from Charlotte &amp; Nashville. Matt has two beautiful daughters - Ava (12) &amp; Eden (10). Along with the girls, Matt &amp; Heather have 3 dogs that have become best friends - Sarge, Dolly, &amp; Porter. Matt and Heather got engaged on December 21, 2025 in Franklin, TN.</p><p>Heather &amp; Matt currently reside in Charlotte, NC where they enjoy spending time with the girls, their animals, gardening, golfing, grilling, cooking, traveling to Nashville, and trying new brunch spots. With Matt's family residing in College Grove, (outside of Franklin), and Heather's in Owensboro, KY (2 hours away), they knew Franklin, TN where their first date was would be the perfect spot for their wedding. Not only is Franklin charming &amp; beautiful but it's outside of Nashville, where Heather owns a home, and her grandparents who have been married for 72 years had their first date at the Ryman Auditorium. As you celebrate with us, keep an eye out for the special touches that reflect our families and the traditions that have shaped us. From Matt's South Carolina roots - surrounded by golf, the coast, and the bond he shared with his brother- to Heather's Kentucky upbringing, filled with old-school country music, cherished moments gardening with her grandparents, and love for her dogs &amp; closest friends, these details tell a piece of their story. We are so grateful to have you join us as we begin this next chapter together!</p>
