On New Year's Eve 2016, Amy's Maid of Honor, Kaeli Bullock, hosted a party in Jensen Beach. Kaeli and Jon Weiss, the Best Man, did some meddling and told Amy and Matt, respectively, about the potential match up. Amy and Matt were both hesitant; however, after meeting, they were enamored. Amy and Matt had their first official date in downtown Stuart on January 2, 2017. For the next several months, the pair traveled back and forth between Jupiter and Tampa nearly every weekend. They could only think of each other. When the distance became too much to bear, Amy and Matt both switched jobs, moved into a beach-front condo in Jensen Beach, and began their lives together in earnest. Although Matt knew almost instantly that he wanted to make Amy his bride, he waited a modest seven months to ask her parents for her hand. He contemplated various elaborate plans but none seemed quite right. Ultimately, Matt decided to propose in downtown Stuart, the site of their first date. On October 26, 2017, he gathered all available courage and asked Amy to marry him. She said yes! And the rest is history.
