Some love stories feel meant to be from the very beginning. For Cierra and Matt, that story started at Ohio University—then carried into their careers, where both worked in TV news before fate brought them together at NBC 4. What began as colleagues turned into something so much more, and before long, it was clear their paths were meant to intertwine forever.
In December 2023, Matt planned a proposal that was nothing short of magical. During a winter stroll through Central Park in New York City, he asked Cierra to marry him, just one day before they set off on a European adventure to the sparkling Christmas markets of Copenhagen and Brussels. The timing couldn’t have been more perfect, setting the stage for a season of joy, wonder, and new beginnings.
When it came time to find her wedding dress, Cierra made the short trip from Columbus to Ohio Bridal Outlet. She fell in love with the wide selection of gowns and the incredible prices—and among the many beautiful options, she discovered “the one” that felt just right for her.
Her choice? Beccar Aster, a clean and classic ballgown with just the right amount of modern detail. With its simple yet striking silhouette and delicate floral accents along the neckline, the gown felt timeless with a twist, perfectly capturing Cierra’s style and the elegance of her wedding day.
On September 20, 2025, Cierra and Matt exchanged vows at Westin Great Southern in Columbus, surrounded by timeless charm and heartfelt details. Their day was filled with warmth, love, and pure joy.
When asked about her favorite memory, Cierra shared: “Seeing all of our family and friends in one room. Absolutely grateful for our perfect day!” That moment—catching her breath, looking around, and realizing just how much love surrounded them—was nothing short of enchanting.
From a chance connection at school, to a dazzling proposal, to a wedding day that felt like a dream, Cierra and Matt’s story is proof that love always finds its way.
We’re so honored Cierra chose Ohio Bridal Outlet to be part of her journey, and we couldn’t be happier for this incredible couple.
Congratulations, Cierra + Matt!
