Allison and Matt tied the knot at the Beach House in Bradenton Beach, Florida among their family and friends. Rolling waves and sunny skies made for a beautiful, clear day in the sunshine!
How They Met
We met in the summer of 2004 while both working at Joe’s Crab Shack in Grapevine, TX.
What They Love Most About One Another
Matt: Her zest for adventure and joy of doing nothing
Allison: I love that he’s always making me laugh, even when I don’t want to be laughing.
The Proposal
We were in Costa Rica celebrating our 5 year anniversary. We had spent the day waterfall rappelling, and planned on cooking steaks for dinner because our anniversary tradition is eating at Texas de Brazil. Matt set the table with candles and wine, and after eating we were talking about all sorts of stuff. We ended up talking about how we first met and when we first got together. Allison eventually said “I think I made a good decision about you” and Matt pulled out the ring and said “I want to spend the rest of my life showing you that you made a good decision” and he asked! There were tears, laughter, hugs and kisses, and a lot of shock for Allison because she’d convinced herself it wasn’t happening on this trip. It made our rainforest treehouse getaway that much more amazing!
