We're getting married!

It was during COVID when the world shut down. Stefani was home from medical school in Barbados and Mathew was an essential worker at SpaceX; he did not have the luxury of staying home like everyone else. So they both decided to try online dating. Mathew messaged Stefani first on the app Coffee Meets Bagel: "Loving the smile !!! And you snowboard ?!?!" From there, the conversation was easy and nonstop! After messaging for a few days, we exchanged numbers and decided to FaceTime before meeting officially in person. On our first date, (shoutout to Dfer for letting Mat borrow your boat) we went out to Long Beach for fishing, of course. But not before introducing Stefani to the gang (Pablo, Nick, and Danny). It was a warm, half-day of fishing. Stefani caught a spotty, calico, and sand bass. Mat only caught a calico bass (but says it's because he had to keep re-tying Stef's line). He did impress her with his cooking though, as he made ceviche de camaron for lunch. After an impressive first date, the rest was history...
