Katie lived in PA while Matthew lived in NJ. Katie was in nursing school and Matthew was an accountant. With no chance of ever meeting one another, they decided to give in to their "last resort:" online dating. Instead of trying one of the more common dating apps, they both created a profile on "Coffee Meets Bagel." After not matching with anyone who seemed even remotely interesting, Matthew appeared on Katie's profile not once, but twice. Katie thought that "there had to be a reason why he showed up twice," so she accepted his profile. You can guess what happened next: they matched! After matching, Katie instantly received a message that said: "Hi Katie! I'm Matt and I like pizza and beer too!" After talking for about two weeks, they decided to meet in person at a local bar. Their first date included an uncountable amount of smiles and laughter. In that moment, life was happier, funnier, and more spontaneous. Ever since then, they have sang too much karaoke in the car together (not well), enjoyed holidays and special events with one another's families, gone to multiple sporting events/concerts, and indulged in spontaneous trips (surprising Matthew at 4 AM to Disney!). There are too many incredible moments that they have shared together after 4.5 years of dating. They feel so blessed to be able to continue that feeling every day for the rest of their lives. Who would've thought that their coffee and bagels would turn to pizza and beer!
