Matt and Jess were brought together by a mutual friend through a (not so) blind date. This friend suggested these two would be great together, and he couldn't have been more right. Their first date was in November of 2017 at Billy G's in St. Louis. The two spent the night talking about life, family and friends. Matt was unapologetically himself, proud to reveal that he was a Taylor Swift super-fan AND that he was a cat person (and had two cats). Luckily, Jess knew that Matt had a number of other qualities that made him amazing and stuck around. Fast forward to today, Jess now loves Taylor Swift and Matt's two cats, Iggy and Johan. Matt has since taken to some of Jess's interests, drinking red wine and traveling around country (and soon, world). There is a lot of love to celebrate and they can't wait to do it with their closest friends and family.
