We met while working together at a local Minneapolis software development agency. Tonya was responsible for creating custom designs, while Matt would develop those completed designs into a functional website.
Being the new guy at work, Matt boldly decided to make his first introduction of walking up to Tonya and saying, "Hey what's up with those tats?" From there it was an obvious path to happily ever after. 😂
While on a friend's trip in northern Minnesota, and under the influence of a couple of White Claws, we packed around 15 people in a 10 person hot tub. Tonya saw this as a prime opportunity to "accidentally" grab Matt's knee and knew if things got awkward she could say that "she slipped".
Shortly after the friends' trip up north, we decided to go on a real date. After our first date, we were basically inseparable and moved in together shortly after and never looked back. Our parents thought we were insane, but clearly, we knew something special was happening.
