Matt and Kelly’s love story begins at an apartment complex in Fort Lauderdale, Florida. Kelly had moved into this apartment complex after graduating from FSU and her first year with TK Elevator. She had taken a position in their Fort Lauderdale Branch and moved in with the help of her parents. At the same time that Kelly moved in, so did Matt. Matt moved into this same apartment complex after graduating with his Master's Degree from UF and moved to Fort Lauderdale for his first job as an Environmental Engineer. It is at this location, that Matt and Kelly first met one another! Funny enough, they both don't remember the first time that they met each other... but think it was first at the gym. This was the beginning of their friendship and very quickly began to spend a lot of time together. Their friendship continued for many years and during this time Matt offered to go on several dates together, which Kelly declined insisting that they were only friends. Matt & Kelly continued to spend time together and grow in their relationship as friends, which then became a little complicated with Kelly’s move to Miami for work, and Matt's move to Iowa for his work. They stayed close throughout this time, and when Matt returned from Iowa & Kelly left Miami to come back to Fort Lauderdale, they rekindled their friendship. However, this time was different as Kelly stopped playing hard to get and their relationship quickly blossomed into a beautiful romance of best friends turned soul mates. Their love grew even deeper during their year plus romance, all during COVID-19, and knew that they didn't want to do life without one another. On June 14, 2021 Matt got down on one knee and asked Kelly to marry him! Matt and Kelly are ready to celebrate their love with all that have continued to love them throughout the years and are so excited for their big day!
