I don't even know where to begin when talking about Matt & Megan! First off, I love both of them! I received my first email from Megan back in June for her September wedding. Month later, she emailed me telling me they had experienced some unfortunate circumstances and they were having to change the date. They were tossing the idea of a December wedding, but either way Matt and Megan were ready to say "I do!" and didn't want to wait until 2009. Its hard to get to know a couple over email, so for a long time I couldn't wait to meet the infamous Megan Gulvas. From her emails and phone calls, I could tell she had a zeal for life and she was madly in love with her fiance! So the first time I met her, I instantly made a best friend! I fell in love with their story, their compassion for others and their love for God. I'll never forget how excited she was to marry Matt, she kept saying things like, "I've slept alone for the last 26 years, and after today I'll never be alone again" it was so cute! Coty and I did not live together before we were married, so to share that belief with Matt and Megan was somewhat of a blessing. I knew what she was feeling like before she got married, before the honeymoon, and to come home to OUR home! Coty and I were so blessed to be a part of their day. When I made the slideshow I picked this song just for you guys! I love Dave Barnes, and this song has always been a wedding favorite of mine. I love the words and the encouragement it still gives me. The way Matt would look at Megan, just made my heart melt. Hearing about the moving of the wedding date and their circumstances, they still saught out to help others instead of themselves. Instead of wedding gifts, the asked guests to purchase a toy that they would later donate to Toys for Tots. It was a constant reminder of how big their hearts were, and it was such an example to others of their compassion.
Anyways, Coty and I just loved working with you and your families! I know Rachel had an amazing time coordinating the wedding, and when she was here this weekend we couldn't stop saying how much fun it was and how beautiful a couple you guys were inside and out. I pray that God blesses your marriage, and you have many years of happiness! Love you guys!
Ashley & Coty
