We met online - no, not Tinder - a dating app called Hinge. We actually matched on Matt's birthday! Tara made the first move with an attention grabbing "Hey, how are you?". Our first date was a week later at Perri's Pub.

We went on our first vacation together, a western Caribbean cruise, in March of 2020. On the second day of the cruise, Matt wanted to get pictures of us on the deck of the ship at sunset. After capturing a few with Tara looking out to the horizon, she turned around to find Matt down on one knee. We spent the rest of the vacation celebrating the engagement!

We're so excited to celebrate this next chapter in our lives with you. See you in April!
