Like most modern couples, Joelle and Matt met on a dating app (Hinge) and went on their first date on February 5, 2021 at Fiddlers Green in Winter Park, FL. Neither wanted the night to end and they ended up staying until the pub closed. Throughout their first month of courtship they spent as much time as they could together including outings with Joelle's friends and brunch with Matt's family, until they finally made their relationship official on March 13th. After a couple years of Adventure Challenge dates, travels both domestic and abroad, concerts, and selfies, Matt moved in with Joelle in her condo in downtown Orlando in January 2023. A year and a half later he proposed on June 29, 2024 at the picturesque Lake Louise in Banff National Park, Alberta, Canada. Their engagement period has been blissful and they are excited to get married surrounded by their family and friends.
