Matthew and I met through mutual friends at a waterfront restaurant one sunny day in January of 2015. Little did we know where the events taking place would eventually lead us! My friends and I were enjoying some fruity adult beverages at the outdoor bar which was adjacent to the boat slips. As Matt and a friend of his pulled up and docked their boat my friends husband says "Hey I know that guy!" and as I look over I noticed a tall dark and handsome guy who immediately caught my eye. My friends husband proceeds to go say hi, and eventually I worked up the courage to walk over and join them. And that's when the magic happened... I was introduced to Matt. We hit it off quickly and by the end of the day I knew I wanted to see more of him. As they were backing the boat out to leave I was glad I had given him my phone number... But would he call?? The butterflies in my stomach hoped so! Then, that same night, my future husband sent me a text asking to see me again- and a few days later we went on our first date! I'm not sure we have left each others side since, and the rest is history in the making! Can't wait to start our future together and share it with you at the Opal Sands Resort in Clearwater Beach Florida! Cheers :)
