How We Met (the second time)

Summer 2019

We are actually both from the same home town and Jacobs High School graduates, meeting there for the first time back in 2010! During the summer of 2019, a friend of Casey's happened to be dating Colin, Matt's roommate and our future officiant. After attending a party at Colin/Matt's apartment and recognizing a familiar face in the pictures all over the fridge, Casey & Colin sent a snapchat to an absent Matt and the pursuit was initiated. A few weeks had passed since the snapchat and Casey was invited to attend "The Summer of George" boat party and knew Matt would be in attendance. Upon arriving to the pregame at 1111, Matt made a beeline to Casey, quite literally swept her off her feet, and then challenged her to a game where the "winner has to take the other person out on a date". Can't say who won that round, but we had our first date (in a hot yoga class) a short time after.

The Proposal

August 26, 2022

While we share a love for traveling and exploring new places together, we definitely have a favorite, Door County, Wisconsin. Matt's family has been retreating to DC for nearly 30 years and took Casey there for the first time in the spring of 2020. On what was supposed to be another camping trip in Peninsula State Park, we, along with our friends Drew and Taylor had planned a dinner at Barringer's and then a night out at the famed Bayside. Upon arriving back to our campsite from dinner, Matt suggested we go to the end of the pier to watch the sunset. About ten paces in Casey notices the bench abundantly covered with roses, looks over at a beaming Matt and....to be honest neither of us can quite remember what was said in that moment other than "YES!" A radiant Casey turned around to show off an even more radiant ring to Drew and Taylor, only to be surprised with a group of some of our closest people (and Ryder)! The entire weekend turned into a celebration of our love with our favorite people in our favorite place, it was perfect! & we're so excited to celebrate this next chapter in our lives with each of you this time. See you in Scottsdale!
