We met the modern way – through a dating app. At the time, Gina wasn’t very active and actually had her notifications switched off. Gina opened it up one day and saw a message from a Mathew (with one t) from New Jersey. It was ten days since he originally messaged...whoops. Gina messaged back but didn't expect a response. To her surprise, Matt responded back like a true gentleman. Matt conveniently had a work trip in Chicago just one week after they started talking - what are the odds... We had our first date at the London House rooftop, and the conversations just flowed naturally. We hit it off immediately and it felt like we’ve known each other our whole lives. We ended the night getting food at Green Street Smoked Meats, a popular BBQ spot in Chicago. When Matt decided to order the entire menu – Gina knew he was the one! Though long-distance, we managed to see each other frequently and explored different parts of the country including 7 national parks together. Our love for the outdoors and the mountains is what brings us to Colorado. We’re so happy to share our love story with you, and are even more excited to start the next chapter of our lives together with all our loved ones, in the beautiful Rocky Mountains!
