We first met online—through an app meant for buying tickets, but instead, we found something far more meaningful: each other. After chatting for a few months, building a connection through our shared love of music and festivals, Matthew decided it was time to meet in person. I was attending a beach festival in Long Beach called Sunsoaked, and despite the massive crowds and his famously poor sense of direction, Matthew followed his heart—and found me. The moment we saw each other face to face, everything just clicked. It felt natural, easy, and somehow familiar. I was instantly smitten—especially once he took his shirt off! We spent the whole night together, not wanting to say goodbye. Deep down, we both knew this was just the beginning. By the next time we saw each other, Matthew had already made it official—I was his girlfriend. Though we spent 4 years in a long-distance relationship, our love only grew stronger. We've proven that no amount of distance can stand in the way of something real. Now, we're so incredibly happy to be tying the knot and can’t wait to celebrate this next chapter with all of you!
