We're so excited to celebrate with you!

September 5, 2018 - We met each other for our first date, via a mutual friend - the internet. We met at a cocktail lounge in Center City, Philly. Matt was early enough to have a drink beforehand, Juli was fashionably late per usual. Juli didn't think it would work out, Matt talked way too much! Matt didn't think it would work out, Juli didn't talk enough! Either way they ventured to a tiki bar roof deck across the street just in time to see the city's famous Elmo drum-line work its way down the street. A few more hours and a few more stories, it was realized how much they did have in common and the energy flowed so naturally. They set up a second date at a brewery in Fairmount, where Matt got really animated in his story telling, knocked over his beer all over Juli's outfit! He was a gentleman, asked to drive her home to change... and waited in the car to prove there was no other intention.... Juli got changed quickly but still made him wait a little bit longer to see how long he would sit outside for. (45 minutes to be exact) Meanwhile he was outside calling his friends to see proper etiquette, how long does one wait outside before accepting she is never coming back? She did. They went to another bar to restart the date. December 31st, 2018, Matt asks Juli once again to be his girlfriend, she finally says yes! May 5th, 2019, ran our first 10 Mile Broad Street Run together! July 2019 - first week long vacation in Myrtle Beach together! September 2019 - move in together May 3rd, 2020 - Matt proposes on the Art Museum steps! February 13, 2021 - rest of forever begins
