How they met as told by Jessica :)

When Matt and I met at a wedding in Denver, CO, I knew there was something special about him. I knew in my heart I’d be seeing him again, even though he lived in Wisconsin and I lived in California. A few days later, I received a friend request on Facebook, which led to lengthy messages, which led to emails, leading to texts, and finally to phone conversations. After about a month of daily communication, we made our relationship official and he bought his first of many plane tickets to come to California. The only thing keeping him in Wisconsin was school, and needless to say, there were many Skype sessions and tearful airport good-bye’s that year. Within two days of his graduation, I arrived at the Madison, WI airport where he picked me up and we drove 2,200 to California to start our lives together. He proposed a week later and here we are today!
