We're getting married!

Matthew and Janelle’s love story began in the most 21st-century way — with a match on not just one, but two dating apps. But it wasn’t until Janelle slid into Matthew’s DMs on Instagram that the real spark ignited. Their first date took place at the beginning of the pandemic, when parks were closed and caution tape was everywhere. Determined to make it work, they spent two hours driving around looking for a picnic spot before deciding to turn their car into their own private restaurant. That cozy roadside picnic marked the start of something special. From weekend hangouts to something more serious, their bond kept growing. Two years later, they bought a home together, and on Christmas Day the following year, Matthew popped the question. There's no video proof — they forgot to set up a camera — but the moment was perfectly theirs.
