Swiping Right

Katie likes to brag about her 100% success rate on Tinder. She joins a dating app, goes on one date, and meets the love of her life. And while Katie isn't Matt's first and only Tinder date, she is his last.

Crossing the Border

Matt and Katie know each other for three weeks and book a trip to Vancouver, BC. Katie learns about Matt's love of mid-afternoon naps and plain hamburgers. Matt discovers he now has his own personal travel agent to handle all the planning — he just needs to show up (on time, which is still a work in progress).

Moving In

Katie and Matt decide that two TVs aren't enough for each of them. To fix that ratio they move into a two-bedroom apartment large enough to house their four TVs — two of which get mounted together on the living room wall, allowing Matt and Katie to spend time together watching football (on mute) and The Bachelor simultaneously.

Welcoming Tyber

Matt and Katie decide that moving in together isn't a big enough milestone and bring home a puppy less than a week later. Tyber wreaks havoc on their sleep schedule but looks cute while doing it, accumulating 17k+ followers on Instagram with his good looks and fluffy butt (@tybertheaussie). #shamelessplug

Popping the Question

Katie and Matt head out for date night to one of their favorite spots, the NoDa Company Store. Unsurprisingly, Katie spends half the walk there blabbering on about how she wants to grab a doughnut on the way home. Matt knows her well, already planning to incorporate Reigning Doughnuts into his proposal as a distraction while getting down on one knee and to pop the question — receiving an obvious "yes" as the answer!
