“My mom was in town and Matt came in and went up to her and said ‘Hi! I’m Matt Light, and I’m going to marry your daughter’ and she said, ‘Stand in line buddy and walked away.'” But Matt didn’t give up, and says it’s the best decision he ever made!

“I would probably be naked, homeless, and very hungry and very unhappy if she wasn’t around. I would be lost completely.”
