Like many modern love stories, Makenna and Matt’s began on Hinge. They matched, started texting, and tried to make plans — but life and busy schedules had other ideas. Eventually, the conversation fizzled out… until one day, Makenna spotted Matt at Target (he didn’t see her!), and it felt like the universe giving her a nudge. Later that day, she texted him a simple “Hey stranger,” and a few weeks later, they finally went on their first date. Little did they know, they’d been living two blocks from each other the whole time! The rest, as they say, is history.

Matt completely surprised Makenna in the best way. He told her they were heading to his best friend’s house to watch a Phillies game, but when they arrived, she walked onto a rooftop beautifully decorated with candles, flowers, and a romantic setup. That’s where he got down on one knee and proposed. She thought the surprises were over when he said they were going to dinner to celebrate — but instead, he took her to a surprise engagement party filled with their closest family and friends. It was the perfect night.
