It all began on a night in late October 2018. Reluctantly, I found myself at a Halloween party I never intended to attend. Yet, thanks to some persuasive friends, there I was dressed as a cat. Unaware at the time, fate had other plans in motion. As I stepped through the door and entered the room full of mostly strangers, I didn’t notice Matt at first, but little did I know he had his eyes on me from the moment I walked in. He was dressed up as The Rock Johnson, turtleneck and all. A casual “Hey, I’m Matt” kickstarted a conversation that lasted for hours, as we connected over our mutual love for Spokane, Priest Lake and the WSU Cougars. As weeks turned into months, it became clear: this was something really special. And now, almost six years later, we find ourselves here, in love and ready to embark on our forever, right where it all began - in our cherished hometown of Spokane, WA.
