Last time you all saw Kathy and Matt it was before sunrise at the Washington Monument. Good times in the capital. So I have known Matt and his family ever since we were itty bitty - our parents were friends way back before we were born doing the whole physical therapy thing together. Anyways, fast forward umpteen years and I hear they are getting married and I get to meet the wonderful Kathy nd boom boom boom. Done and done. I had a blast down in Hartford, CT with them. Matt and his groomsmen started off the day at this total old school barber shop getting a strait edge and then I meandered over to Kathy's childhood home... so much history, photos on the wall... All in all, kick ass day. Morgan also came down and made a kickin video from his footage and some of my stills. You can check it out HERE.

There is probably no better description of these two amazing people that I can offer you than one proffered directly by the bride and groom... Things we like together: Laughing, the beach, swimming in the lake at Matt's cottage, canoe rides (when Kathy doesn't have to paddle), bike rides, making gnocci, eating gnocci, laughing, going out to eat at new restaurants, Matt likes collecting rocks, Kathy likes trying to convince Matt to collect fewer rocks, Matt likes writing in his journal and sketching, Kathy likes reading Harry Potter and trying to convince Matt to read Harry Potter, cheese and crackers, when Matt plays his guitar and sings, trying to teach Kathy to sing, laughing, wine, seasonal beers, traveling, the '87 Volvo (Nelly), riding our bikes (Betsy and Simon), naming inanimate objects, HGTV, Back to the Future I, II, and III (but mostly I), Kathy loves the Gilmore Girls, Matt loves the Goonies, the Red Sox, Matt's impressions of people, tradition, Christmas (Matt especially loves the presents part), Matt's favorite day: wearing a wool sweater on a sunny autumn day, flowers, Puccino (our kitty), dreaming about our dream house, writing down things we like, and laughing.  I now, very humbly, present to you...

the most beautiful story of Kathy and Matt

seek the joy
