We met on a dating app, OKCupid (the one literally no one uses anymore). Matt messaged me first. He knew what he was doing with his profile picture being him dressed in his bunker gear on top of a burned building so, of course, I messaged him back. After a few weeks of messaging back and forth, I didn't hear from him. Almost an entire month went by. Further investigation led to me realizing I never pressed "send" on my response to his question. I didn't think he'd message me back after that, yet here we are!

We had our first date on March 30th, 2014 at Dave and Buster's. I thought Matt was insane after the skeeball got stuck and he ran up the lane to fix it. In my head I was like "this guy is ridiculous." However, it ended up being an amazing date! I actually ended the date early because the season finale of The Walking Dead was coming on (priorities). I had to get home because no one was going to stop me from watching my show. We continued to communicate, went on more and more dates and, next thing you know, love was in the air!

We got engaged in my favorite place ever, Nashville Tennessee! I knew something was up when I kept being reminded to make sure my nails were done before the trip and to not get burned during my eyebrow wax appointment. We went out to dinner with my sister and planned on heading to Jason Aldean's but the line to get in was way too long, so we opted for FGL House. We ended up running into Matt's co-workers and their wives (who were suspiciously there the same weekend we were) and started having a good time! Next thing I know, Matt's asking me to check out the rooftop. It was like 20 degrees. Once again I'm thinking he's crazy but, nevertheless, I followed. One moment I'm looking down at this guy who's wearing shorts and flip flops questioning his mental capacity and, the next moment, I turn around and see Matt down on one knee. The rest is history!
