Kendra Meeks & Mathew Blain June 11, 2017
M
athew and I met on Facebook, although
he
remembers
hearing my “high-pitched voice� in high school, and he had always caught my eye. One day he posted a picture of himself shooting his bow, and I had recently bought one.
I messaged him about it and to my surprise, he messaged me back!
T
he next day we went to Five guys, Fast Lanes, and then back to my house where he met my parents. That was one of the most fun nights of my life! On our second date, we watched scary movies all day, and Mathew asked me to be his girlfriend and told me he loved me. Everyone kept telling us how we “rushed into things”. Of course, we rushed into it and barely knew each other, but it was the best decision of our lives.
When I was trading in my truck and we were buying a jeep, Mathew came to me and said something went wrong with the purchase, but that the dealership wanted us to be in a commercial. When we walked out to look at jeeps for the “commercial” I opened the door, and saw a small box in the seat. I gave it to the salesman, thinking someone left it. He pointed to Mathew who was on one knee proposing and telling me that the jeep was mine.
I
n planning the wedding, we wanted a country theme and Barn at the Springs was a perfect fit. The owners were so down to earth and helpful. The day went very smoothly, thanks to my mom, Carrie Meeks, who was our wedding planner. I couldn’t have done this without her!
