They rekindled the romance after they met again at a friend’s wedding and walked down the aisle for communion.
“We were sitting in two completely different places, and the way the lines were moving to go to Communion, it was like something in a storybook,” she says. “My line was so slow and his was so fast, and all of a sudden … we were walking down the aisle together.”
“At that point, Matt nudged me and though I tried to avoid his glance, it was futile, I knew then that I’d always love him.”
