Hinge to thank for bringing these two together! After matching, they decided to meet for a first date at Cajun Queen in Charlotte, NC. At the end of the night, it started to rain, and Matthew immediately ran to get the car so Brittany wouldn’t get wet. In that small but thoughtful moment, she realized he was unlike anyone else she had ever met. Their second date was a round of putt-putt—where Matthew let Brittany win (even though she told him not to). From that point on, they were inseparable. What started with a swipe quickly turned into something so much bigger, and we can’t wait to begin this next chapter of our story together.

When Matthew decided it was time to propose, he knew it had to be something unforgettable—and he had the perfect plan. With the help of his family, he came up with an elaborate ruse: Brittany thought the gathering for a late birthday party for him. Brittany walked into the celebration expecting balloons and cake, but instead was met with the biggest surprise of her life. Surrounded by our closest friends and family, Matthew asked Brittany to spend forever with him. What she thought was just another birthday turned out to be the beginning of a brand-new chapter—and one of the happiest days of their life.
