On Planet Bumble (yes, the dating app), the power of swiping right brought us together one night in February 2020. Matthew complemented Kristin on the photo of her dressed as Princess Leia (it was obviously Padme) and Kristin miraculously did not correct him and scare him away. Matthew asked Kristin a question on a scale of 000-000-0000 to 999-999-9999 and we have been inseparable ever since. Through a long distance relationship in Tennessee, to an even longer distance relationship as Kristin traveled the country during her last year of vet school, and finally settling down together in Tampa, Florida, we have enjoyed every day of our journey together. So far we have adventured in the US, Tanzania, Italy, Croatia, and Mexico. We love spending time out with our friends and relaxing at home with our dogs Khali and Arya, and cats Kitty Man and Rhaena. In April 2024, we decided to reenact a scene from one of our favorite movies. On the lakes of Naboo, Matthew finally asked Kristin to marry him, and of course she said yes! Matthew was so nervous that he almost forgot to put the ring on Kristin’s finger. We continued the celebration by traveling around Italy and flying on dragon back (an airplane) to King’s Landing (Dubrovnik, Croatia). Kristin and Matthew plan on continuing to experience new things, see new places, and spend time with the people they love (all of you). As long as Kristin lets Matthew play Call of Duty until the early morning and Matthew does not limit Kristin’s visits to Barnes and Noble, we are thrilled to spend the rest of our lives together, and promise to choose each other every day.
