Dear Family & Friends,

We are floored that you will be participating in the biggest day of our lives; your presence means the world to us!

Many of you know our timeline, but just in case you need a refresher...

2012:

The two met while working at Lowe's during their college years.

Matt had the courage to strike conversation with Katie, a new cashier, while she was facing product in the cleaning aisle. He later told her that the first time he saw her, he knew that was the girl he was going to marry.

Matt graduated from college that winter!

2013:

Katie and Matt moved in with their friend Joel, to a duplex on college row in Milwaukee, WI.

Matt obtained his first job at Discovery World; he was a science and technology instructor for boy- & girl-scouts and private classes.

2014:

That spring, Katie graduated from college!

In a whirlwind of activity that summer, Matt began working at Epic Creative as a Digital Design Consultant for GE Healthcare; then the two traveled to Colorado to celebrate their accomplishments, and moved into their "first" house--just the two of them--in Wauwatosa, WI.

That fall brought Avani, their beloved kitten, into their lives. And Katie started an accelerated Graduate program at UWM.

2015:

That spring, Katie and Matt traveled to Tennessee and South Carolina to visit relatives and hike the Smoky Mountains.

In the summer, Katie graduated with her Master of Science--Business Management and scored her first job at TransPerfect Translations as a Project Manager.

2016:

Our favorite year together, so far!

In the spring, Katie jumped careers to become a Program Analyst at Astronautics; shortly after, Matt was brought on to GE Healthcare as their Global Strategy and Technology Program Lead.

Over the 4th of July holiday weekend, Matt and Katie traveled to Michigan, where Matt asked Katie to marry him. Of course, she said yes!

Directly after their engagement, the two love birds drove out from Western Michigan to Central Wisconsin, to pick up their second bengal kitten, Raj.

During the month of October, Katie and Matt became first-time homeowners; they purchased a contemporary bi-level in the Town of Brookfield.

2017:

Our Wedding Year!

We want to thank all of you for your love and support over the last 5 years; we couldn't have done it without y'all!

We can't wait to see you on our wedding day!
