Our story begins in July 2023, when a single swipe on Hinge brought us together. Brunch at Se7enBites turned into a surprise arcade showdown, and by the end of that playful first date it felt as if we’d known each other far longer than a single summer morning. Fast-forward to March 17, 2026: high above Gatlinburg on the SkyBridge at sunset, with the Smoky Mountains glowing all around, Matt knelt and asked me to marry him. Today we’re turning our first house into a home, raising our spirited pup Tucker, and dreaming about the family we’ll build side by side. We can’t wait to write the next beautiful chapters together.
