Glen Foerd Mansion Wedding |Mary & Matt

The Glen Foerd Mansion is a stunning Riverside Pavilion, just 20 minutes from downtown Philadelphia. This one-of-a-kind waterfront venue is perfect for Matt and Mary's wedding.

A match on Tinder has led to a series of date and a new beginning for Matt and Mary. Mary knew she was in for a treat on their first date — it was so natural and comfortable. Matt on the other hand, had always went out of his way to make Mary laugh and do nice things for her.

From going to her favorite bakery when she wasn’t feeling well to picking her up at work just so he can spend 30 minutes in her company. When Mary begin to realized she would rather spend time with Matt than anything else, she know she was falling in love!

Here are some of my favorites from their Glen Foerd Mansion wedding day beautifully captured by Ralph Deal Photography.

We asked the happy couple "What made you fall in love with him/her?". Here is what they said:

Mary:

– I actually just recently came across a note in my phone from August 2015 that lists everything I love about Matt! I’ll spare the embarrassing ones, but my favorites are:

-The way he explains his thoughts

- I love the way he looks at me

- The way his brain works

- I love the way he wants to take care of me

- And how happy and safe he makes me feel

My biggest draw to Matt was/is that he truly values my partnership.  He fully accepts me for the person I am and never tries to change anything about me, even the bad parts.  He knows me better than anyone and always knows exactly what I need – whether it’s a listening ear, words of encouragement, gummy bears, or flowers.  I am extremely lucky to have found someone so supportive, nonjudgmental, patient, and handsome.

Matt: What isn’t to love? Once I realized she was becoming my best friend, I recognized that I cared about her more than I cared about anything else. As I realized that she was becoming my best friend, I had fallen in love with her and didn’t want to be with anyone else. She might have said “I Love You” first, but I was the first one to fall in love in the relationship.
