In 2016, the couple met while both working for ARUP Laboratories in Salt Lake City.

Bellamy initially thought that Matt was too good-looking and smelled too good(we worked the grave shift.. not exactly your A-squad) to be interested in someone like her. A friend of Bellamy's, and she, were both trying to see who he would go for; after weeks of cat-calling, Bellamy matched with Matt on Tinder. He gave her shit for liking a certain whiskey (she has since changed her mind on), and the banter went on. Shortly afterward, they started going on lunch breaks every night at work, which turned into hanging out every day after work. Multiple seasons of 'The Joy of Painting with Bob Ross' and 'Trailer Park Boys' and they were in love.

*Matt said it first.

They had their first date on December 19th, 2016. They went to a great dinner (Matt can definitely treat a woman to a nice evening) and afterward went to see the lights at Temple Square.. one of Bellamy's favorite nights. Matt was nervous and spilled her drink across the table, he will still deny his nervousness to this day.

Matt knew the whole time (maybe we both did) that Bellamy was "His girl"; fortunately, she listened to him.

In October of 2017, they welcomed their first daughter, Adalie. (a little on the unconventional style, but we like to do things backward). In 2021, they welcomed their youngest daughter, Ayla, and became a full family of four.

On March 13th, on a beautiful beach in Puerto Vallarta, Matt asked Bellamy to be his forever (that was always the plan anyhow).

We always knew it would be us. We just didn't know when.

"If you fall, I will catch you, I will be waiting...time after time."

'Til Death, My Love.

And then I'll haunt you afterward.
