Hayden and Matt got married on May 28, 2022 in Columbus, OH at The Grove Lodge at Scioto Lodge.

As they look back on their special day, a smile lights up their faces. It was a wedding filled with heartfelt moments, laughter, and treasured memories.

One of the moments that continues to make Hayden smile is the father-daughter dance. They selected "Many Shades of Black" by The Raconteurs, a song that held deep sentimental value. Growing up, the song became her anthem, sung joyfully during car rides with her dad and brothers. In a perfect moment captured in a photo, her brothers can be seen singing along in the background, encapsulating a cherished memory that will forever warm their hearts.

Amidst the hustle and bustle, Hayden found solace in spending time with herself before the ceremony. Little did she know that laughter was unfolding elsewhere. Matt and the groomsmen embarked on an adventure to figure out the kegs, leading to an amusing incident. A photograph taken by her cousin perfectly captured her grandmother holding a cup filled with foam from the keg. Every time she sees this picture, it evokes uncontrollable laughter, reminding them of the lighthearted moments that dotted their wedding day.

If given the chance to plan their wedding again, there are certain elements they would undoubtedly include, one being the inclusion of their dogs. Their dogs brought immeasurable joy and warmth to their special day. From the first dance to the reception, having their furry friends by their side was a decision they would repeat without hesitation.

Their wedding day was truly a testament to love, joy, and the beauty of shared moments.
