Our Story

Amy and Matthew met on February 10, 2023 at their church (Northstar Church in Kennesaw, GA). They were both volunteering for Tim Tebow’s Night to Shine, an annual special needs prom hosted at churches around the world. Amy was in her last semester of college at the time and had come home to volunteer for the event to get service hours for a class. Matthew had gotten recruited by a friend at the last minute since they were short of volunteers. Little did Amy and Matthew know they would meet their future spouse that night.

At the event, Amy and Matthew caught each other’s eye while lining up to meet their “buddies” for the evening. They did not interact, however, until a couple hours later when they saw each other in the karaoke room. Matthew was talking to a couple people and Amy found an opportunity to join the conversation. When they got home that night, they searched for each other on social media. Amy did not know Matthew’s last name, and it was very difficult to find him since he did not have Instagram or Facebook. She recruited her mom and sister to help, and eventually her mom Lisa found him on LinkedIn. Amy took a chance and requested to connect with him, as she had nothing to lose. Matthew quickly accepted the request, but he did not message her since he did not want to interfere with her last semester of college.

5 months later, on July 9, 2023, Amy rode with her Nana and Papa to church since her parents were out of town on an anniversary trip. Nana and Papa always arrive to church early, which came in handy that day. Amy got there early enough to see Matthew in passing as he was leaving the first service. They did not talk, but Matthew took it as his opportunity to make a move. He messaged her on LinkedIn the next night, and after they conversed for a bit he asked her if she wanted to continue the conversation over a cup of coffee. She said yes, and they met at a local coffee shop the next weekend. After a couple more dates (and texting instead of messaging on LinkedIn), they realized they had feelings for each other. On August 2, 2023, they officially became boyfriend/girlfriend, and the rest is history!

Fast forward to December 7, 2024, and Matthew proposed to Amy while doing one of her favorite things — dancing! They took a ballroom dance lesson, and during the final dance he had her do a spin. Once he let go of her hand, he got down on his knee and popped the question. It was the most romantic proposal she could have asked for.

Amy and Matthew are so thankful that God brought them together in His perfect timing. They have constantly seen His hand in their relationship, and they are excited to see what this new journey of marriage will hold.
