Veronica and Matthew got married on June 02, 2012 at the Industry Hills Expo Center in Industry, Hills CA.
We met at Calvary Chapel Santa Fe Springs…our home church. We both shared mutual friends and often saw each other while serving and attending church. All it took was for Veronica to go out of her way and say “hello” to me one Sunday after church. I will never forget the sparkle in my eye that day. We started to exchange messages on Facebook messages back and forth and then started to date each other a few weeks later. After much prayer on both of our parts, we heard the Lord's voice clear that He had prepared us for each other!
The proposal...
The proposal happened in New York City on top of the Rockefeller Center building! It was a beautiful night. We had an AMAZING view of New York City from 70 stories high. The proposal happened on October 11, 2011 just before midnight. I waited until the entire observation deck cleared out prior to dropping to one knee. We had just finished reading the Bible and doing our daily devotion on a nearby bench. I asked Veronica to join me to pray at the edge of the observation deck, overlooking NYC’s breathtaking view. Afterward, I began to express to Veronica what she and her daughters’ meant to me. (Veronica was widowed with two daughters from her deceased husband. Nevaeh is 7 and Zoe is 3, I am in the process of legally adopting both of them! J) How grateful to the Lord I was for them. Veronica seemed somewhat confused as to why I was getting all mushy and emotional. Especially, since the security guard on duty was pressuring us to leave. It was closing time. Veronica was still somewhat confused, but she did her best to stay focused. I then got down on one knee. I think Veronica was literally in shock! She was so caught off guard that after she said, YES, she threw my arms around me and wouldn’t let go. I don’t think I have ever been hugged so tightly in my life. I had to pry her off of me. At the end of the night, in New York City, 70 stories up, on top of the Rock, it was just the two of us. Well…there was also a security guard and two of our friends. Nevertheless, it was extremely intimate and very romantic! Unquestionably, a night the two of us will never forget! http://www.mandv.gettingmarried.us/Engagement_Slideshow.htm
The video Idea...
The big group entrance and dance was my idea! I always knew that I wanted to a big wedding party dance and Veronica was totally on board. As we asked our family and friends to be apart of our wedding party, we let them know about the dance and the commitment we were going to need from them. There were a few people that the commitment of practicing with a choreographer would be too much for them and decided not to be part of the wedding party. We totally understood their decisions as we knew what we wanted and didn't want it to be a burden to anyone. We had so much fun practicing; it united our entire wedding party. Also, we had my friend, Chris Dupre, who is one of the best choreographers in the business as our choreographer. He was so patient with all of us and he made it so much fun!!!
We started off with "The Shuffle", which is the dance to LMFAO's song "Party Rock Anthem". The rest of it was choreographed by the bride, groom and a couple of the groomsmen and bridesmaids. Todd and Megan met at work while working at Texas Roadhouse in Littleton, Colorado. Todd is 24 and Megan is 21, they were together a little over 4 years before the marriage. He proposed to her in front of a bunch of their friends and family at a family owned lake. The wedding took place at the Spruce Mountain Ranch in Larkspur, Colorado.

August 26, 2011
We are a couple who loves having fun and didn't want to have the "same old" wedding reception. We decided to surprise everyone with a dance inside our first dance that included our bridesmaids and groomsmen. Most of our bridal party was out of state so we choreographed it and then recorded the dance and sent it to them so they could learn it. We practiced it only once secretly on our wedding day in the tiny Brides room-this was so funny because we had to keep pausing the music and acting like nothing was going on when someone would open the door! The time we "performed" it was only the second time we had done it with the whole bridal party.
No one had any idea we were planning this and it was a blast! The looks on the faces of our family and friends were priceless :D
Our Wedding Date was August 8, 2009 - Mark and Kjersti Helberg
A well choreographed wedding dance that starts out with the Bride and her Father dancing to "My Girl" by the Temptations and then goes into "A Chorus Line" dance to the song One. The dancing continues with the Bride and Groom, then the Bridal Party joins in along with the parents of the couple.
This dance was choreographed by Erin Condon (Mottet) and features her father, Bill, her husband Travis, their entire wedding party from Arizona, California, Colorado, Pennsylvania and New Jersey, as well as Jack and DeeDee (Travis' parents) and Karen (Erin's mom). The first time everyone rehearsed as a group was the day before.
