I was at a wedding with Matt's twin brother, Greg, and Greg's wife, Brooke, when the two suggested Matt & I would be a good match. So after a few text messages over the next 2 weeks we finally met in person for our first date, a Taylor Swift concert in Philly. After some great conversation, and a few too many beers (ok way too many), we decided a second date was definitely needed. Matt still lived in New Jersey, and I was in Maryland, so for the next year we hung out on the weekends and took a few fun trips to the Jersey Shore, Florida, Rhode Island, and France! After exactly a year of dating we moved out west to Arizona for Matt's school and have definitely been enjoying the Arizona weather! Almost a year after moving to AZ and buying our first house, while watching Fourth of July fireworks (at a COVID drive-in event, at least 6 feet from other cars!) Matt got down on one knee and popped the question!
