Karly and Mathew matched on Bumble in November of 2019 when Karly messaged Mathew a very original "Good morning, how are you?". From that clever ice breaker, the conversation blossomed, and they discussed everything from future travel plans in a van, drink preferences, and favorite beaches in the area. Fast forward to 3.5 years later and not much has changed. They have now traveled across the United States together in a van, gotten their engagement photos taken at the same favorite beach, and Mathew still enjoys his cheap beer (Busch Light). Early in their relationship, they stumbled across some beautiful Botanical Gardens in the middle of Florida that Karly fell in love with. Many dates were spent here exploring the grounds, having picnics with Pub Subs, and enjoying each other's (and Daisy's) company. So, when considering a place to ask Karly to spend the rest of her life with him, it was only natural for Mathew's mind to gravitate towards one of their favorite spots. With the wind blowing through the pines (25 mph gusts) and Malorie as the photographer dressed in full camouflage, he was able to pull off a romantic and surprise proposal! As their first date was in Downtown Tampa along Riverwalk, it is only fitting for their wedding to follow suit. They chose the Florida Aquarium as a place to celebrate their love for one another overlooking the same location where they first met!
