Introducing....Mr. and Mrs. Matthew Ryan
Question: What do you do when your son calls you up and says "Mom, Dad. I will be home tomorrow and Carlie and I would like to get married on Saturday!"
Answer: You put it in high gear and put together an amazing wedding in 6 days!!
So, that's exactly what we did. We love that Matthew is in the Marines, but with that comes an element of uncertainty. We wanted to give Matthew and Carlie the best wedding for them, and we learned that when our family and Carlie's family comes together, we can accomplish just about anything.
THE REHEARSAL DINNER
Bill and I had the rehearsal dinner at The Old Spaghetti Factory. It was a nice evening with our friends and family. After a busy week of wedding planning, it was nice to get our families together before the big day.

THE WEDDING
The wedding was held at
Rood Bridge Park in Hillsboro. It was a beautiful day for our son to marry his high school sweetheart and true love. It is such a blessing to know that your son and new daughter in law will always love and support each other through thick and thin. Matthew is going to make a great husband! Matthew adores Carlie very much. Carlie is totally in love and dedicated to Matthew. She has supported him through many of the ups and down of life. She also is very supportive of his military life and career.

THE HONEYMOON
Bill and I were fortunate enough to be able to send Matthew and Carlie on a 4 day Hawaiian honeymoon before Matthew had to leave back to Missouri. We surprised the kids with their honey moon a few days before the wedding. We also took them to the airport the morning after the wedding.
