How we met

First comes bumble, then comes love, then comes marriage

Matt and I met each other on bumble in early December 2015. His bio said, "I'm great at putting together Ikea furniture" and I thought that was funny, so I decided to message him. For a couple of days, we had a full conversation strictly about making an Ikea furniture construction business (strange I know). After a while, that conversation died out and he asked me when we could finally meet (I was still living at home at the time while he was living in NYC). The Santacon bar crawl was coming up and we both thought that was the most fun and ideal opportunity to meet in person, so we did just that. We picked a bar in the East Village and eventually spotted each other among the hundreds of drunk Santa Clauses. After some drinks and awkward conversation, I dragged him out the door with me and off to another bar. As we were walking, we stopped on the street and he told me he had to go home to meet some friends. Admittedly, I was quite drunk and just wanted this cute guy to hangout with me a little longer, but unfortunately he left. I thought that was the end of it. I was thinking to myself, "what did I do wrong to make him want to leave?". A couple of weeks went by until Christmas finally came and he reached out again! He told me he was busy with his family because of the holiday which totally made sense (phew). To be completely honest, I didn't really care what his excuse was because I had only been thinking about when I could see him again. Finally, he asked me out on a real date and the rest as they say was history!

The Proposal

Matt proposed to me in our apartment, on the couch, in my pajamas. After knowing Matt for 3 years, this was the most perfect way he could have ever asked me to marry him.

For all the days along the way
