Since we're trying to help you get to know us, we thought we'd show you some of the fun things we like!

Music

We wanted to take a few minutes to explain the music. We both really like all types of music, but we put some of our favorite songs on this site. The first song, With or Without You by U2, is our song, and we danced to it after first getting engaged on a candle lit pavilion by a lake. The songs on the other pages are just a few of the many songs that Renee, Jaeden and Matthew all like that they thought fit for one reason or another on the website.
