Every couple is asked to describe the most important part of their wedding day. For Amber it was “Marrying my best friend.” and Matt’s one word reply was “Surviving.” Most guys are thinking that exact thought somewhere in the back of their mind but usually end up saying what he thinks she wants to hear. Not Matt— he speaks his mind. Their adventure began as an office romance, he would stop over at the end of the day to flirt and “ask me out for a drink” as Amber puts it. “Finally, I said yes” and the rest you can probably guess.

Matt proposed with a diamond from his grandmother’s ring in the kitchen. It was on the same day they closed on their new home- perfect.

These self-described geeks are perfect for each other.

Amber and Matt love to read, play board games and spend time with family and friends.
