How We Met

First comes college, then comes marriage <3

Matt and Sarah met at the University of Nebraska-Omaha in March 2014. They were both students in Managerial Communications class and Professor Morin assigned them to the same group. The first time they ever spoke to each other, had nothing to do with their newly assigned group project. Instead, they ended up in an argument about who the next NBA MVP would be that year. As many of you know Sarah and Matt both have a strong love for the NBA. Sarah's team is the Miami Heat and Matt's team is the Oklahoma City Thunder. During that time both teams had MVP contestants that season. The class was about to end and Matt quickly wrote a note to Sarah that said "For Facts" at the top with his number on it. He gave it to Sarah and said if you want to continue this conversation here is my number.

The Proposal

Steamboat Springs 7/24/2019

While in Steamboat Springs, Colorado for a baseball tournament, Matt convinced Sarah to wake up to go hiking at 7am that Wednesday morning. Little did Sarah know Matt had been planning this proposal for a really long time, and he was very anxious to get going. Matt finally got Sarah in the car after she changed 4 times. He thought she knew something was up, but she really just couldn't decide on what to wear hiking. She had no idea what was about to happen. They drove to Fish Creek Falls and started on the trail up the mountain. At the bottom of the hill there was a huge waterfall, and Sarah could not be more excited as she had never seen one before. She told Matt that they had to get a picture in front of it. Some other hikers passed by and Matt and Sarah asked them if they would take their picture. After that, Sarah was ready to continue on the trail but, Matt continued to stall. Then Sarah turned around and saw her and Matt's family walking down the hill and her face was in complete shock. Matt retrieved the ring from his dad, and got down on one knee to ask Sarah to marry him. And of course she said YES!! ✧Watch Here✧ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s2h_lKuHT3o&feature=youtu.be
