We are Matt, Lauren, and Cece!
|
We are a happy little family that lives minutes away from the shores of Lake Superior. We just bought a fixer upper that we are eager to spruce up and settle into as we watch our daughter grow!

Our story started in 2014 over several games of the card game Speed. We had mutual friends and went to the same church but as fate would have it, we ended up being the only two people at what was supposed to be a big gathering. Instead of calling it a night, we chatted and played cards. Matt knew it was love then, but Lauren needed more time. Regardless of what page we were on, our friendship continued to grow over the next year.
In the summer of 2015, Matt decided to move to New York City. Of course, that was when Lauren conveniently realized that she wanted more than friendship with Matt. We wrote letters to each other over that summer, and ultimately Matt moved back to Michigan to marry Lauren.

Now that we have Cece in our lives, our free time looks a little different than it once did! We love taking walks as a family, and chasing each other around our home. On weekends, we like to get out and explore by hiking to waterfalls in our area and eating delicious food.

We value any way that we can preserve our story. We've saved our love letters, corks from celebratory bottles of wine, ticket stubs, and trinkets - all to remember how we got to today. We love traditions - we still play Speed on March 8th to commemorate the day our story started. The ferns you see in our branding are a nod to our own wedding day details. A camera is our constant companion because we know from experience that video is the best way to revisit old memories, both big and small.

Matt is fiercely loyal. He will go above and beyond for those he loves and those who he serves! He cares about all the details - he’s always striving to better himself and his craft. Matt makes everything fun and is my favorite person to spend time with! I have never laughed as much as I have since Matt’s been in my life! He brings light and joy, even when things get stressful. |
Lauren is caring, thoughtful, and is always thinking of how to ensure someone has what they need. She pushes me to be better at the things that I take on and to truly be my best. Lauren is brave and that bravery has brought so many great experiences to our lives. She keeps me calm and knows how to communicate with me better than anyone. Lauren is my partner and best friend. |
