Our story has a spooky start... We were supposed to go to the Queen Mary around Halloween with a group of friends, but it was sold out so we pivoted and went to a karaoke place instead. As soon as Matt saw Ciera, he immediately asked his friends, "Who is this girl and why has no one told me about her before??" Seeing her perform "Mr. Brightside," confirmed it: he had to ask her out. Which he did the next day. Fast forward through a year of Covid, countless trips to the beach, lots of pizza, and hundreds of rounds of Monopoly Deal (Matt currently has the most wins btw) we are ecstatic to be joining our lives together forever. In the poetic words of Hoobastank (and also the song Matt sang at karaoke that first night) "I've found a reason for me. And the reason is you." Here's the link to Matt's performance if you're interested: https://youtu.be/J6Sj5zs3Rsg
