Our Wedding

It all started in Dallas in 2022, on a Thursday night that should have been a Wednesday.Miranda was living in Dallas at the time and, as usual, had gone out for karaoke with her regular partners-in-crime, Samira and Andrew. Their weekly ritual was normally every Wednesday, but that week they decided to switch things up and head to The Old Crow on Thursday instead. (A choice that turned out to be fate.)Meanwhile, Matt was in town visiting a friend. He wasn’t planning on meeting anyone that night (definitely not his future wife) but the universe had other plans.While Miranda was on stage giving what can only be described as a very enthusiastic rendition of “No Scrubs,” she noticed Matt across the bar. Instead of walking up to him like a normal human being, she attempted to get his attention by… walking past him on the way to the bathroom without actually saying hi. Subtlety at its finest.Matt, oblivious, didn’t realize she was trying to get his attention. His friends did, though...and told him to say something. He assumed they were messing with him and refused to believe Miranda could possibly be interested.Eventually, Miranda resorted to boo-ing him from her table (lovingly, of course) as her friends tried to drag her out for the night. The boo-ing finally worked. Matt came over, they talked for about five minutes, most of which Miranda doesn’t fully remember, and she invited him to join her at the next bar. He couldn’t make it, but they exchanged numbers before parting ways.The next morning, Miranda sent a very apologetic text for her drunken behavior. The texting didn’t stop. She soon learned Matt actually lived in Philadelphia (not Dallas, as she had drunkenly assumed). Without hesitation, she asked if she could visit. Two weeks later, she flew to Philly.That weekend turned into something unforgettable: exploring Philly, then spontaneously heading to New York for a concert called Afterlife, and realizing, somewhere between the music, skyline, and laughter, that this connection was something real.Over the next few weeks, the calls got longer, the plans got bigger, and the future got clearer. Within two months, Miranda packed up and moved to Philly. Three months after that, they bought their first home together.Almost three years to the day they met, Matt proposed to Miranda at their favorite neighborhood bar, Meetinghouse: the place where so many of their memories were made and where they already felt like home.And now, they can’t wait to celebrate the next chapter with you.

Our Story

Photos

Bride or Dies 

She’s wandered the world, survived a plot twist or two, and still shows up laughing. She’s ditsy in the most endearing ways, radiant in every room, and the one who’s been by my side since the beginning.

Rose

She loves with her whole heart, laughs without hesitation, and somehow still keeps the room from burning down. The responsible soul wrapped in glam.

Brittany T. 

Once an enigma, now a co-conspirator. Bonded by sharp wit, matching playlists, and gossip whispered like it's gold.

Lauren C. 

Medicine is her calling, kindness her nature. From a dog-park hello to an instant friendship, she’s been pure warmth, unwavering support, and unfiltered fun.

Christine A.

She lives in a world of children, dogs, noise, and love — and somehow makes the chaos look magical. His little sister, now my own.

Haleigh B. 

A cat mom with wit as dry as the desert and a devotion to her 401k that rivals Warren Buffett’s portfolio. She drifts through life in a haze of sarcasm and smoke, and I adore her for it.

Alexia S.

All CEO energy with a compassionate core. She keeps the chaos classy, the fun intentional, and has been by my side through every high and low.

Nikki W.

We’ve traveled, we’ve partied, we’ve survived nights we probably shouldn’t have. She’s gorgeous, hilarious, and blissfully unaware of just how magnetic she is.

Taylor B.

We met Matt together on a night that changed everything, and she’s been part of the story ever since. If there’s tapas, cheese, or a well-poured cocktail, she’s already there with a joke ready.

Samira M.

Main Characters 

Bound by blood, bonded by chaos. Elegance when needed, menace when called upon.

Stephen K.

A proud Ravenclaw with a heart of gold, a head full of spells, and just enough awkwardness to be endearing. Likely owns at least one wand. 

Neil P.

Equal parts kindness and humor. The group’s unofficial leader and lifelong keeper of the plans.

Ryan. D.

Equal parts chaos and heart, he’s the first one on the dance floor and the last one standing. Ride-or-die friend, unmatched hype man, and guaranteed good time.

Sean M. 

Always laughing, always smiling, and always making sure everyone around him is having a good time. A true mood-lifter.

Andrew B.

The friend who will roast you mercilessly and then show up for you no questions asked.

Eric T.

He’s funny without trying, joyful without effort, and always ready for a drink and a good memory.

Andrew P.

Some have mistaken him for the famous character Lyle Donnolly because of his striking similarities and kind soul the character was based on.  A long time best friend and such an important part of the day.

Kyle C. 

The life of every garden party, a certified mayhem maestro, and the quietest trouble Temecula has ever seen

Greg G.

Equal parts whiskey warmth and dive-bar beer charm, known for his fairway finesse and his karaoke battles with Miranda.

Garrett C.

The manor’s most eligible bachelor, armed with impeccable timing, impeccable humor, and just enough gravitas to make it legal.
