In 2016 Matthew and Cierra met in youth group. Even though they attended rival high schools and didn't know each other at first, they found themselves in the same friend group that got together regularly to hang out in hammocks, around the fire, and share meals. A few months of avoiding the subject and a couple "accidental" dates later, Matthew asked Cierra out on May 29th 2017. Four high school dances and many memories later, Matthew moved to Tallahassee to attend Florida State University and they continued to date long distance in 2018 and 19. Cierra also moved to Tallahassee the following year and the two continued to grow in college; together serving in church, going to football games, and walking to class together. After Graduation, Matthew couldn't picture life without Cierra and planned to pop the question on July 3rd, 2022. Cierra was totally surprised but couldn't feel more lucky to say yes to her best friend. We are so excited to have you join us and celebrate the start of our lives together.
