Their Story

Dakotah was born and raised in Syracuse, NY by both her mother and father, Mary and Roger Forell. She is the youngest of three girls. Matthew was also born and raised in Syracuse, NY by his parents, Donna and James Egan. He has a younger brother and sister. Both Dakotah and Matthew attended Liverpool High School together, although they didn't really know each other.

Dakotah and Matthew met in undergraduate college at the University at Buffalo. They lived in the same dormitory freshman year - Dakotah on the 2nd floor and Matthew on the 8th. The two quickly became friends and hung out all the time, studied together, ate together, and partied together.



It wasn't until Sophomore year that Matthew asked Dakotah on their first date (yay!). Matthew brought Dakotah to a small Italian restaurant in Buffalo, NY which oddly, the two could never find again. Then in November 2011, after spending the entire day together,&nbsp;Matt asked Dakotah to be his girlfriend (yay again!) 



After dating throughout college, Matt moved to Michigan where he started his first job as a Mechanical Engineer and Dakotah moved to Blacksburg, Virginia to continue with medical school. After 3 years of long distance (9 hours drives) they moved to Fayetteville, North Carolina together where Dakotah is finishing school to become an Emergency Medicine doctor.



On May 4th, 2018 Matthew and Dakotah had plans to go to the botanical gardens in Fayetteville, NC and then to Freeman Beach to camp for her birthday. After walking the gardens, Matthew got on one knee and asked Dakotah to marry him...
