Megan and Matt met in 2015 when they both swiped right! Matt was getting ready to join the Navy, just turning 21, and was not in the least expecting to meet somebody before moving away. Megan was going to college and didn't plan to meet somebody, especially somebody who was moving away in only a couple of months. Before meeting in person they messaged back and forth for weeks, somehow always having something to talk about, and sharing their ideas about getting the hell out of the Midwest and finding their way to the beach. Their first date was at Cahokia Mounds, where they met for the first time and walked and talked for hours. On the way home, Matt couldn't even wait to text Megan and let her know that he was very excited about her and wanted to know so much more! When Matt finally went into the Navy, he knew that Megan was not somebody he wanted to lose, and after only 6 months of dating and while on leave to visit home, he asked her to marry him. Fast forward a year and they both made it to the beach, Myrtle Beach, where Megan got her degree in Marine Science and Matt dipped his toes back into college. This is where their relationship flourished and they both shared their love of the ocean. After moving back to St. Louis, and more than 5 years of engagement later--they finally picked a date! And what better place than the coast where they started their lives together, South Carolina.
