We met at the College of Charleston back in the early 2000s. Our shared friend circles always kept us in each other’s lives. That friendship became something more in 2016. The rest is their-story.

We were planning a trip to France, and Joye had the great idea that they elope beforehand so the trip could count as their honeymoon. Matty stated it would ruin his plans, so the cat was out of the bag so to speak. On June 13th, after a morning of catacombs, medieval art, and an oyster and crepe lunch; we found two chairs by a statue of Anne de Beaujeu in Luxenberg Gardens and exchanged rings.
