On December 27, 2018, Kimberly and Matt made their #perfectmattch. It took Kimberly six different tries to get Matt to ask her out on a date, which she ended up canceling due to a rescheduled flight back home! Instead, she surprised him on April 23, 2019 to meet her for dinner at Red Robin. The whole date, Kimberly asked Matt about moose because she thought he was from Montana, and Matt said a total of about ten words. Luckily, their second date showed just how great of a team they were when they escaped from an escape room! From that day forward, they knew it was a match that was meant to be.

A true romantic, Matt set up a day full of activities that shared a special place in their hearts. Everything was an adventure they had gone on together over the course of their relationship. On February 29, 2020, they started at an escape room (which they did manage to escape!), followed by mini golf (which they had done for his birthday a few weeks after starting to date), and lunch. It took him 3 more hours to work up the courage to ask Kimberly, but he finally got down on one knee in their room, surrounded by candles and rose petals. He asked her to spend their lives together, and of course, she said yes!

In a little under two years, Kimberly and Matt have accomplished things some couples only dream of! They moved in together into a beautiful townhome in Iowa City on October 12, 2019. Shortly after, they adopted their adorable kitten who has become the light of their life. They now have two precious cats, Luna and Stella, and a charming little rabbit, Thumper. Kimberly and Matt have been so fortunate to have traveled together through many states including Texas, Minnesota, Illinois, Florida, Wisconsin, and North Dakota. They've visited almost all the landmarks on the CityPass tour in Chicago in one day, toured underground caves in Austin, and almost escaped from an art heist at the Mall of America (in an escape room, of course). They even survived three uninterupted months together at home during the global pandemic. Now, as a married couple, they can't wait to take on their next international adventure: their honeymoon!
