nusual circumstances, guest restrictions, date changes, wedding stress, and lots of love: That’s what brides of 2020 have been experiencing, and Dr. Elizabeth McIngvale was no exception. On July 18, 2020, months after their original wedding date, Dr. Liz and Matthew Mackey finally tied the knot. The couple exchanged vows at Houston Oaks Country Club in a stunning, elegant, and intimate outdoor ceremony, followed by a carnival-themed reception. For a wedding that was initially planned for over 380 people, Matt and Liz ended up sharing their nuptials with 65 of their closest friends and family. The newlyweds danced and mingled well into the evening, and then capped off their perfect day the same way their love story began: With fireworks. U LOVE &COMMITMENT: GOING BEYOND THE PURCHASE Three years ago, Liz and Matt boarded the same flight out of Chicago, not knowing that fate would land them in the same aisle. Sparks flew, a relationship grew, and now, these two can call each other husband and wife, and Zadok Jewelers is proud to be part of their love story! Throughout their dating relationship, Matt began to develop a relationship with Jonathan Zadok, buying pieces of jewelry here and there for Liz. So, when it came time to take the relationship to the next level, Matt knew just where to go for the perfect engagement ring. Matt and Jonathan schemed together to produce the perfect ring that matched Liz’s style. With just two simple parameters, the two men created the perfect ring for Matt’s soon-to-be fiancé. “He knew that I wanted gold, and he knew that I loved pear-shaped,” Liz says. “But everything else was in his wheelhouse, not mine. He picked it out himself, he worked directly with Jonathan, they custom-designed it, they picked the stone and built the ring.” Liz had no part in the shopping, planning, and designing process, but says she preferred it that way. She wanted to be surprised, which meant Matt and Jonathan were on their own. In the end, Matt succeeded in surprising and thrilling his future bride with both the perfect ring and the perfect proposal. And how did Jonathan and Matt do, you ask? “They nailed it — one hundred percent,” Liz exclaims.
