It is hard to believe that these two met using an online app. Sometime in April of 2023, Matthew messaged Sophia replying to her prompt “love coffee, hate soda” asking her “hey Sophia, how many cups of coffee do you typically drink a day?” To which Sophia replied, “just one. I have a lot of natural energy.” From there, the two of them planned to meet for their first date. They shared a fun night at Boatyard in Annapolis where Matt shared that Sophia chatted quite a bit and her natural energy was quite clear. From there, they continued to enjoy follow up dates at “The Point”, where they shared their first kiss and “Guinness Brewhouse” where Sophia asked Matt how many kids he dreamed to have. The two of them both felt a strong connection building and continued to fall for one another. After showing Sophia his guitar for the first time, the two shared a duet after a night out. Sophia told her sister that was the night she new she fell in love with him. After celebrating Sophia’s 25th birthday, Matt asked her to be his girlfriend and they celebrated with a trip to his favorite place, Ft Lauderdale, Florida; the first travel journey the two would embark upon. At the end of that summer, the two exchanged three beautiful words as Matt concluded the night with “Goodnight Sophia, I love you.” From then on, they continued to travel to many places together. After picking out their first Christmas tree together, Sophia took Matt to dinner and formally asked him to move in with her as she gifted him with a house key. The first of many memories, laughs, holidays and traditions were shared together this year. Time has been spent building a strong foundation for their future together. Mr. Win mentions that the two were “destined to meet.” The internet just helped ‘speed things up.’ And with the invisible string theory that the two share, that seems to be quite true. Engagement Story... It is hard to surprise a planner, especially Sophia. She had been hoping and thinking all summer that Matt was going to be popping the question each weekend. When it came down to the month of September, she had a strong feeling in her gut that it would happen any weekend now. She went to work that day emotional and happy feeling it would happen later that day. When she got home, her best friend Emma got ready with her and drove her to a secret location - Dodon Winery in Davidsonville. There she met up with Matts sister, Megan who had wine ready to go. When she got out of the car, she walked up expecting to have a moment to enjoy wine with her girls but out popped Matt from around the corner. Sophia was shocked as she hugged him and could not let him go. He walked her to the end of the winery where he said the sweetest things before asking for her to be his partner in life and "will you marry me?" She immediately said yes, hugged and kissed him more forgetting she had not even put the ring on yet! Matt had a hidden photographer who captured this life changing moment for the two of them. Later, Matt continued the surprises by having some of their family and friends at his parents house for an engagement party surprise! It was truly the most memorable weekend the two of them have shared together!
