They met through a mutual friend - the internet.

Ashley and Matthew had their first date at Manayunk Brewing Company. He loved her freckles and southern accent. She loved his long hair and how cool he acted when a spider landed on him.

The weekend they met, a storm passed through the Philadelphia area, leaving Ashley with a canceled flight and a few more days to explore the town she would eventually call home. Matthew did his best to recreate moments from that weekend for the proposal, all leading up to asking Ashley to share this life with him at the place they first promised to see each other again, the Navy Yard.
