Matthew Wilkes & Hayley Hunt

April 27, 2019

Hayley, from Charleston, and Matthew, from Atlanta, met through mutual friends their freshman year at Vanderbilt University and dated throughout their undergraduate years before moving to Chicago. While on a trip in Positano, Italy, Matthew surprised Hayley with a ring and their families, who had traveled to celebrate the engagement. The couple wed at The Circular Congregation Church, which Hayley grew up attending, and processed with a line band to the Hibernian Hall reception for a night of dancing.
