Since our big day
Bride & Groom
Ximena Rojas Jaime
Ximena is a self-proclaimed citizen of the world, originally hailing from Ibague, Tolima, Colombia. Ibague is the music capital of Colombia and is filled with volcanic mountains, glorious coffee, exotic fruits and birds, and wonderful people. As a child, she was always the creative type, organizing the neighborhood kids for fashion shows and creating new games for everyone to play. Her love of travel started as an 11 year-old when she moved to Canada to live with her Aunt Vicky and Uncle Cliff and learn English for a few years.
Matthew Scott Reiter
Matt is from the small town of Woodstock, IL (Not where the concert was, but where the movie Groundhog Day was filmed!). He was always solid in school and was a great speller. He had spelling bee national championship on his mind until his career was derailed with a controversial second place finish in the Dean St Elementary School Spelling Bee. He would never fully recover, but luckily had other interests.He grew up with a love of playing sports; mainly soccer and basketball, but he did play tee ball on Wrigley Field once.
Our Story
How We Met
We received a brief introduction from Matt's socialite cousin, Sarah Wilbur, at an airport hangar black light body paint party... typical Vegas stuff. We mentally noted each other’s classy garb, despite the ridiculous circumstances, and continued on our ways.
About 3 months later, we learned via social media that both of us would be attending Lollapalooza. This realization that we had similar music tastes led us to attempt to meet up at the festival while in Chicago.
Our First Date
As our initial conversations all revolved around music, we both had the intention of being Vegas music buddies. Our first time out together, we ended up deciding on Silversun Pickups at the Joint at the Hard Rock.
We really enjoyed the show and about halfway through the night we both started to realize maybe this was a date.
The Proposal
Earlier in 2016 Matt's parents, Sue and Dennis, decided to get the family together to come back for Lollapalooza again for the show's 25th anniversary. As planning for this festival went on, Matt began thinking of proposing around that time-frame... then it struck him that the bridge would be perfect.
Matt got the family involved to recreate the moment he bumped into Xime on the bridge.
