Ciarra & Matthew

March 28, 2025 • Rudy, AR

How We Met

From Matthew's perspective:

I saw Ciarra while out with my friends while she was sitting next to the dance floor. I felt that I needed to go over and talk to her and ask her to dance. By the end of the night we were holding hands and knew we had to see each other again to see what the future held.


From Ciarra's perspective:

I was hanging out with my friend, Caitlin, catching up when I felt a tap on my shoulder. It was Matthew. He told me hi, shook my hand and asked me to dance. I said, "Yeah, can you dance?" He assured me he could and off we went to the dance floor. We danced and talked until 3 am like we had always known each other.
