Matt and Lizz met in August of 2006 at Outback Steakhouse in Herndon, Virginia. Lizz was the new girl in Take Away and Matt was the handsome server. Lizz had her eyes on Matt from the very first day. One day Lizz worked up the courage to ask Matt to go to the Rascal Flats concert with her and her friends. He said Yes! Their next date Matt took Lizz to the top of the Washington Monument in DC (September 9, 2006) and asked her to go to the Oriels game (September 13, 2006) as his girlfriend. She of course melted! And as they say, the rest is history.

Matt proposed to Lizz on February 29, 2016. Lizz had no idea Matt had been dropping hints about it all along. Anytime Lizz would bring it up he would tell her the date it was going to happen. Lizz thought he was kidding around, clearly he wasn't. Matt sent Lizz out to the mailbox to see if the registration had come in yet for her car. It was cold and Lizz was not happy about it. When Lizz came back in from what she considered to be freezing cold, Matt was down on one knee with the ring. We aren't even sure Lizz said yes because all she could manage out of her mouth was "Are you serious?" It was a wonderful surprise for Lizz, one she will remember for forever.

Matt and Lizz are so excited to FINALLY be planning their big day. Due to them just buying a house and having to be adults, the wedding is going to be kept small, closest friends and family.

Lizz and Matt are so happy to celebrate with close family and friends on September 15th ,2018. It will be a very casual BBQ at their home in Sterling, VA. They are so excited to share this special time with everyone.
