How It All Began

After months of hearing our mutual friend, Amy White, talk about how we should meet, Brittni sent Matt a message. Her best friend, Gab, suggested messaging him on Facebook late Friday night with her cell number and the message “In case you ever need it”. The next morning, as Matt sat in his tree stand, he texted her a message saying “Gooood morning you can add me to your favorites now 😁😁😁”. By Tuesday, we had planned our first date at Zinburger in Cherry Hill, where we talked for hours as we drank beers and ate some messy burgers! After only two days of knowing each other, Matt left for his annual hunting trip in Pennsylvania. He was gone for almost a week, which felt like an eternity. When he returned, Matt picked Britt up for some late night spot lighting. After spot lighting the fields near his house, we went to the lake where we talked and laughed for hours. It was only the third time we had been out together, but there was no denying we were meant to be. That night Matt told Britt he loved her. It was crazy and impossible to explain, but we just knew this was different and something insanely special. After that night, we were inseparable. We spent time together everyday; we couldn’t get enough of each other. After two months, we moved in together at the beautiful cranberry farm where Matt works. We spent weeks cleaning, painting and decorating what has since become our home. That summer, when Britt was in Greece with three of her best friends, Matt bought a puppy to surprise her. Our beautiful Bernese Mountain Dog, Ryker, quickly became the center of our attention and an awesome addition to our little family. After many long nights of Matt taking Ryker outside, while Brittni dreamed of Matt’s big muscles, they finally potty trained the world biggest puppy.

The Proposal

On June 7, 2017, Britt planned a day off of work with her coworker and good friend, Amanda. The plan was to spend the day on the beach working on their tan. However, a cold, rainy day ruined their original plan. Instead, they spent the morning shopping and getting their nails done. That afternoon the sun finally came out so they could go to the Mihalic beach house. The plan was to relax until Matt met up with them after work to go to dinner. Little did Britt know, Matt had much different plans for the night. When Matt got there, they decided to take Ryker for a walk on the beach. They stopped at the top of the walkway to take a picture like they did when they first got Ryker. While Britt was trying to get Ryker to sit for the picture, Matt dropped down to one knee and grabbed her arm to get her attention. He then proceeded to ask her to marry him as Amanda took a million pictures and video taped it all. Of course Britt said yes and cried. Matt wasn’t done with the surprises yet. After she said yes, she was immediately surprised by her best friend, as she walked up the ramp to say congratulations. Matt had picked Gab up on the way to LBI so she could be a part of their special moment, knowing that’s exactly what Britt would want. After lots of hugs and tears and obsessing over the beautiful ring, the four of us decided to go grab some drinks and dinner at our favorite spot in Manahawkin. When they got to Element, Britt got another huge surprise. Waiting at the restaurant was a group of her favorite people ready to celebrate. Britt’s mom, dad, Blair, Blake and Shannon were all there with Matt’s mom, dad, Danielle, Lee and the boys! It was truly the best day of Britt’s life - and a huge stress relief for Matt, since he was no longer responsible for the ring.
