Matt and I met the way most couples do these days: a dating app. We started chatting in March 2023 and soon realized we had something special enough to take offline. Our first date was in May at a local pizza spot called Olive's, because nothing says romance like pizza and nervous laughter. The first thing Matt said to me on our date: "Well, it looks like neither of us got catfished", which made me laugh and put me at ease. One year later, we took a big step: living together. Then, in December 2024, we got engaged! Matt surprised me by taking the day off and waited for me to come home from work on Monday night. I opened the door and was met with rose petals leading from the door to the living room, our house only lit by candles. In the background, Taylor Swift was playing. Cue the happy tears, champagne, and calling everyone we know. Now we’re here, planning a wedding and still laughing, loving, and eating lots of pizza. We can’t wait to celebrate with you!
