Mattea and Allan’s wedding was the definition of timeless elegance. From a romantic candlelit proposal to an intimate celebration at The Glover Mansion surrounded by their closest loved ones, every detail of their day felt intentional, meaningful, and beautifully personal. With soft lavender and sage details, heartfelt family moments, and a gown fit for royalty, their wedding truly felt like a dream come to life. Congratulations Mattea and Allan! Welcome to the Believe Bride Family!

Allan’s proposal to Mattea was nothing short of magical. When she arrived home, she was greeted by candles lining the driveway leading to a heart made entirely of candlelight, with Allan waiting in the center on one knee. Complete with a handmade sign asking her to marry him, the proposal was a complete surprise and one Mattea will never forget.

When it came time to find her dress, Mattea knew exactly what she envisioned. She dreamed of an elegant and timeless satin off the shoulder ball gown that would make her feel like royalty, and the second dress she tried on turned out to be the one. The moment she put it on, she instantly felt like a queen. In the months leading up to the wedding, Mattea also lost 40 pounds, and after alterations, her gown fit flawlessly, making her bridal vision come together perfectly.

On May 25, 2025, Mattea and Allan were married at The Glover Mansion on Spokane’s South Hill after spending over a year planning their perfect day. Wanting something chic and timeless rather than rustic, they instantly fell in love with the historic mansion venue. Their intimate wedding of just 30 guests featured beautiful lavender and sage tones paired with wildflowers for a romantic, elegant atmosphere.

Their ceremony took place in the mansion’s backyard on a stunning sunny day, despite constant rain in the week leading up to the wedding. For Mattea, it truly felt like the day was made just for them. After dreaming of her wedding since childhood, seeing it all come to life was even more beautiful than she could have imagined.

One of Mattea’s favorite parts of the wedding was their first dance together. She and Allan spent weeks taking dance lessons leading up to the big day, and it paid off in the best way. Dancing to “Can’t Take My Eyes Off You” by Frankie Valli and The Four Seasons, the couple surprised their guests with spins, dips, and a beautifully choreographed dance that felt straight out of a movie. Combined with the way her gown bustled so organically, Mattea said she truly felt like a queen all night long.

One especially meaningful memory from the day was having Allan’s grandparents travel all the way from France to attend the wedding. It was the first time they had traveled internationally in over six years. During the reception, Allan’s grandfather gave a heartfelt speech entirely in French while Allan’s father translated in real time, creating a moment filled with overwhelming love and emotion.

Mattea and Allan’s wedding was elegant, emotional, and full of unforgettable moments that perfectly reflected their love story and the incredible bond they share with their family and friends.
