Matt and Michaela met online in April 2021. They were living almost 2 hours apart, so like a true COVID couple, they had their first date online. They had a virtual dinner date and Michaela got to beat him at one of their favorite games (to this day he says he was just playing nice). Matt was quick to schedule a second in person date after that. They met halfway for hiking and bonded over their love for God, people and fun activities! Their relationship felt like a slow journey with the physical distance, but both quickly realized the other was well worth the obstacles!
