It all started with a simple match on Hinge. Isabel liked Matt's profile because she thought he was playing in a worship band—only to later find out that he was actually playing at Wufest! But from the moment Matt saw Isabel’s profile, he knew. He immediately told his friends, "I’m going to marry her." Matt didn’t waste any time. He asked Isabel out on a date right away, eager to start this chapter together. For 30 days, Matt pursued her with everything he had, but Isabel initially thought they were better off as just friends. That all changed one night when Matt offered to help Isabel with a Mary Kay event. Something about his kindness, dedication, and the way he was always there for her flipped a switch in Isabel’s heart. After a month of being friend-zoned, everything shifted, and they fell in love.

The next five years were filled with adventures & fun. They actively dated each other & their love continued to grow deeper. They explored the world together with trips to Dubai, the Bahamas, Mexico, Vegas, Aruba, New York, Nashville, and more. Every journey brought them closer, and their bond grew deeper with every experience. Eventually, they decided to take another leap of faith and moved their life across the country to Texas—after all, everything’s bigger there! Isabel & Matt’s favorite thing to do together is workout. From day one, they became each other’s biggest supporters, pushing each other to be the best versions of themselves, both inside and out. Matt has shown his unwavering support by attending over 100 Dallas Mavericks games, watching Isabel light up the court as a dancer. And Isabel, in turn, has had the privilege of witnessing Matt's incredible journey. She’s watched him grow into the man of her dreams, from the day he graduated college to the moment he launched his own business and saw it thrive. Through it all, Matt has remained the most hardworking, kind, loving, and devilishly handsome man Isabel could ever hope for. Together, they’ve built a life rooted in support, love, and shared goals—always lifting each other up, no matter the challenge or the triumph.

Matt had been incredibly secretive leading up to the proposal, but Isabel, being the sharp woman she is, caught on to a tiny inkling of what was coming. So naturally, she prepared herself by ordering ten white dresses, just in case! The big day coincided with Isabel’s mom’s birthday, and she thought they were headed to a photoshoot at a beautiful garden. As they drove to the location, Matt swears Isabel kept glancing at her left hand in the light, possibly imagining what might soon sparkle there. It wasn’t until they got out of the car and began walking toward the breathtaking garden that Isabel noticed something different—there was a red carpet leading the way. Her heart skipped a beat. Matt, knowing her better than anyone, had planned everything down to the last detail. The path was lined with fresh red roses, flickering candles, and, as they reached the end, Isabel saw their closest family and friends gathered to witness the moment. Of course, everything was being perfectly filmed and photographed, just as Isabel would have wanted. And then, the moment came—Matt surprised her with a stunning rock of a ring that couldn’t have been more perfect. Overwhelmed with joy, Isabel said yes to the love of her life. After the proposal, they headed off to a beautiful dinner where everyone celebrated the newly engaged couple, toasting to a future filled with love, laughter, and endless adventures together. As we embark on this beautiful new chapter together, we are filled with joy and gratitude for the love that surrounds us. We cannot wait to celebrate this special day with each of you, our cherished family and friends, who have been a part of our journey. Your presence means the world to us, and we are beyond excited to share our love and happiness with everyone. Let’s make memories that will last a lifetime as we begin our forever!
