We met in September 2023 through a dating app, Hinge. Our first date started at Casati's in Chicago, and went so well that it lasted for 5 more hours, ending at 3AM on the dance floor at the Hangge Uppe. We made it "official" on October 29, 2023 at Quartino and quickly introduced each other to friends and family. Over the next year and a half we continued to progress in our relationship. During that time Brianna learned to golf and Matthew learned to wake surf on Druid Lake. In July of 2024, we became members at the Wisconsin Country Club, which will now be the setting for our wedding day. In April of 2025, we took another major step in our relationship and moved into our apartment in downtown Chicago. Little did Brianna know, the engagement ring entered the apartment one week later when both of our families came to visit. Two months later Matthew got down on one knee to propose, in Lincoln park with the scenic Chicago skyline in the background. The surprises continued as we made our way to the restaurant where we made things official, Quartino, to find many of our closest friends and family waiting to celebrate. In July we brought home our new best friend - an English Bulldog we named Mack. We can't wait to say "I do" and celebrate our marriage on October 17, 2026 with all of you by our sides!
