Hollie met Matt shortly after moving to Indianapolis post college. She says, “We quickly discovered our mutual involvement in AmeriCorps and went from there!” The couple knew almost immediately that their love was something special. During a peaceful walk in a local park, Matt dropped to one knee and asked for Hollie to be his wife. She of course said 'yes!'

 

Hollie tried on multiple dresses during her search, but her mind kept drifting back to one specific gown. That clued her in that there might be something special about it! Not long after, Hollie said 'yes' to her dream dress.

 

 

What we love

This couple wanted to give back to their community, so in lieu of guest favors, they wanted to make a donation to local nonprofit organizations. “We had a gold beer cap placed at each guest’s dinner setting,” Hollie explains. “Our napkin inserts thanking them for being there gave instructions to take the bottle cap with them when grabbing a drink or dinner. We had two glass jars set out with descriptions for our non-profit of choice. We donated $1 (and then some) for each bottle cap placed in the jars. We ended up giving $120 to Second Helpings (my choice) and $60 to Indy Humane (his choice).”

 

 

Advice from the couple

Hollie suggests hiring a month-of/day-of coordinator to take away any stress of your approaching event. She adds, “We questioned the necessity but are so, so glad we did! They made our lives so much easier in the weeks leading up to our wedding and especially on the day.”
