How We Met

2018

For those who don't know, we met on a dating app (No, not Tinder, We are way more classy than that!) After a few days of texting back and forth we finally had our first date. A restaurant called "Father's Office" was the place and we both ordered a burger and a beer. While chatting throughout the date we learned about how much we had in common. Towards the end of it, all we were doing was swapping dog photos, and buying more rounds. Neither of us wanted the night to end. Several dates later, and things were starting to get a bit more serious. There came the time, like in all relationships, where you have to decide what you are doing. Is this someone you want to go the distance with and see where it goes? or is this just a fling? While we both were independently learning to make a living in Los Angeles, we both knew that stacking a relationship on top of that would be very tough. We both told each other that we were not here to "play no games". Matt said "I'm here for real deal” and boy did we find it. Fast forward 4 years later and we have endured the pandemic locked down together, purchased our first home together, and welcomed our beautiful son, Giovanni, to the world. We’re excited to take the next step and make our family official. Thank you to each and every one of you for your love and support throughout our lives and throughout our recent life changes. We can't wait to share our special day with those we love - you!
