We met in 2009 when Vanessa was attending cosmetology school, Matt’s mom was an instructor We were introduced and quickly became best friends and did everything together, until one day when Matt build up the courage to ask Vanessa out on a date he bought her a pink monkey and flowers and they went on their first date! They have gone through everything that could tear them apart over the last 15 years but their love grew stronger for each other they decided to set a date and the rest is history!
