It all started at Houston Baptist University. Rory was the volleyball student assistant and Matthew was finishing up his last season of college baseball. After being caught starring multiple times by Rory, Matthew finally mustered the courage to introduce himself in the athletic training room. Our first date was shortly after at BJ's in Missouri City, Texas. The two literally spent everyday with each other, and on Rory's 25th birthday, the two were officially in love. Matthew did not take long to realize Rory was the love of his life and on September 16, 2018 in Buffalo Bayou Park on the Sabine Bridge the question was popped and the rest is history.
