We went to rival high schools in NJ but it took us to go to college all the way at Coastal Carolina University to meet each other. We met in 2013 when Matt was walking out of party and Jess was walking in. We started talking and hit it off immediately. The next day we hung out and spent the whole evening sharing music, laughing, and talking about life. We’ve been together ever since.
Matt was going to propose to Jess on their Mexico vacation in March but covid had other plans. On a day when Jess least expected, Matt took her to their favorite beach spot in Ocean City. He set up a beach picnic as the sun was going down. Jess knew something was up when Matt wasn’t eating. He insisted on going for a walk on the beach and wrote “marry me” on the beach where he got down on one knee. They celebrated the weekend with lots of champagne with their best friends.
