We first met at the Crying Wolf in East Nashville and bonded over our love for podcasts, specifically Serial at the time. Nafis had recently moved to Nashville a few months back from Memphis, TN after graduating college at the University of Miami, and Matthew had lived in Nashville for 3 years prior to meeting Nafis. One of the best parts of dating someone new to the city is getting to show them the most exciting places. On our second date, we went to Motown Monday at the Five Spot in East Nashville and danced the night away. After leaving our date, we just couldn't stop thinking of when we'd see each other next. So I took Nafis to Rock Island, TN to my favorite waterfall where we had our first kiss after a day of hiking and swimming in the river. After, we went to our first drive-in movie at Stardust Theatre in Watertown and the rest is history! We have been together nearly 6 years, and in this time we have built a strong, lasting love built on a solid foundation of trust, communication and care. We are so thankful for our amazing community of friends, family, our home, and of course our two dogs, Gus and Duke <3
