From Bumble to Bliss: Our Love StoryFrom Bumble to Bliss: Our Love Story

May 30, 2022

Matt and Morgan were introverts who preferred staying in over going out. Encouraged by their moms, they both tried online dating, leading to a life-changing Bumble match on May 30, 2022. Morgan missed the initial messaging window, but Matt extended it, prompting her to say "Hey." They quickly bonded over topics like Star Wars, Disney, Colorado and Mexican food, leading to their first date on July 27, 2022, where Morgan did most of the talking but Matt impressed with his smooth moves. After a few months of dating, they officially became a couple on September 19, 2022. This date holds special significance for them, as does May 30, which marks their match and, two years later, their engagement. They'll also celebrate September 20, 2025, as the day they say "I Do."
