We met the old fashioned way - at a bar! I first met Matt while he was working the door at Longworths Bar in Mount Adams the summer before leaving for law school. After trying (and failing) to get his attention while he checked my ID, I eventually managed to corner him at the bar when he stepped inside for a drink. We spent an awesome summer together before he left for Chicago, with me following two years later after graduation.

It was our five year anniversary. We have a tradition of doing these 'all day dates' and Matt packed the day with all sorts of wonderful things including attending a performance of Hamilton! After the show we went to London House Hotel's rooftop where they had a special area set up for us, complete with rose petals and champagne. I was so surprised that Matt had to actually convince me that the set-up was for us! Of course I said yes, and we have been excitedly planning our wedding ever since.
