Some love stories start with fireworks. Ours started with a swipe—and turned into early mornings, muddy boots, and a whole lot of time outside. Kate and Matt met seven years ago on Bumble. What started as a simple match quickly turned into conversations about the outdoors, early mornings, and a shared love for being on the water. It didn’t take long to realize this wasn’t just another first-date kind of connection. From sunrise duck hunts to long days fishing and exploring, they built their relationship the same way they live—steady, adventurous, and side by side. Over the years, their love grew through all the little moments: tight lines and missed shots, laughter after long days, and learning how to be a team no matter what the season brought. In March of last year, their greatest adventure yet began when they welcomed their son. Becoming parents added a whole new meaning to teamwork, patience, and love—and made their life together even fuller. Watching Matt become a dad only made Kate love him more, and together they’ve embraced this new season with the same joy and gratitude they’ve brought to everything else. Somewhere between the early mornings, muddy boots, and late-night feedings, Matt became Kate’s favorite fishing partner—and her forever. When he asked her to marry him, it felt less like a surprise and more like the most natural next step in a life they were already building. Now, as they look ahead to marriage, Kate and Matt are excited to continue growing their family, chasing adventures, and building a life rooted in love, laughter, and the outdoors—surrounded by the people who mean the most to them. We can’t wait to celebrate with you.
