Featured Couple: Jill & Matt
We are so thrilled that we get to be a part of Jill and Matt’s special day this month! In celebration of their wedding month we were able to ask them about their love story and their upcoming nuptials.
Where was your first date?
Our first date was to a bar in the Lakeview neighborhood of Chicago. It is now a tradition that we go back to this same bar each year on the anniversary of our first date!
Tell us about the proposal? How did he pop the question?
Matt proposed on a cold and rainy Saturday morning last April. He had convinced me that we had to go to the rooftop of our building for our morning coffee to kick off rooftop season. I actually asked him if we could rain check the rooftop coffee because it was cold and rainy... I'm glad he said no haha! After getting upstairs to the door leading out to our rooftop and seeing a sign that said the rooftop was closed, I turned around to find Matt on one knee!! He then surprised me by having both of our families come up to Chicago to celebrate the rest of the day with us! It was absolutely perfect!!
Tell us your favorite part of being engaged?
Our favorite part of being engaged is the excitement leading up to our big day. We've had a countdown on the refrigerator for quite awhile now. It's so fun to see the number of days until our wedding getting smaller and smaller!
What are you looking forward to most on your wedding day?
On our wedding day, we are most looking forward to celebrating our love with the people who mean the most to us! We are so excited to start this next chapter of our lives together!!
Where are you going on your honeymoon?
We actually haven't decided on a honeymoon location yet. We took a trip to France back in September, so we are going to wait and take our honeymoon for our 1 year anniversary. We have a 4 day trip to Louisville planned for right after the wedding.
