As freshmen, we lived in the same dorm, Eagle Hall, at James Madison University. Although Matt lived on the 3rd floor and Bella lived on the 7th, we were introduced through common friends and began dating!

A short 3 years later we graduated JMU!

We moved back to Boston! For 3 years, we lived in Boston where Bella went to school to become a PT and Matt worked on the field crew for the New England Patriots.

We moved to Charlotte NC, where we live in our first apartment together! Matt is currently working as a land surveyor, and Bella as a physical therapist.

We got engaged! Matt proposed while away for the weekend in Charleston, SC.
