“We were both out with friends at Longway Tavern. The door to the bar kept blowing open and I kept asking Matt to keep it shut. He teased me about being cold, smiled at me, but had to move on with his friends. An hour later, we ran into each other again at The R Bar. We hit it off and started dating. Matt quickly became best friends with Ruffins, thus solidifying his place in my life forever.”

“I always dreamed of proposing to Steph in a beautiful place with family to share it with. A trip had been planned to Big Bear, CA with The Stromath’s so I quickly got my act together and acquired the ring. While in Big Bear, I casually mentioned a hike that I wanted to take Steph on...over and over again. When we finally climbed to the top of the trail, everything I wanted to say to her melted into tears and gibberish. She knows I would have meant every word of it if I could have kept it together! It was the happiest moment of my life.”
