We met one afternoon while swiping through Bumble. At the time, Laura was living in Stamford as a newly graduated PA, and Matthew was living in his condo in Norwalk, a seasoned professional of the maritime industry. After a few brief messages back and forth, we set the date for May 11, 2023 to have our first date at Mexicue in Stamford CT. We both knew that this would be our very last first date. One date turned to two. Two to six. We made it official over a waterfront dinner at l'Escale in Greenwich. Laura eventually moved into to Matt's condo where, along with his dogs Cali and Luna, we became a family of four. Only five short months later, we bought our forever home in Monroe. The weeks and months that followed - Silly dances in the kitchen, making pasta and sauce from scratch, hiking with our four dogs - culminated in that one moment we both will never forget. In June 2024, set with a backdrop of crystal blue glacier lake water surrounded by the Canadian Rockies in Banff, Alberta, Canada, Matt asked Laura the question that would seal our fate - "Will you marry me?", which was answered with happy ugly crying and a resounding "Yes!". We are so excited to celebrate our marriage surrounded by everybody in our lives who have brought us to this day. Get ready for a prohibition era wedding experience!
