Two random people both swiped right on each other not knowing what the future held for them.

In early November 2020, Matt and Danielle both swiped right on each other on Bumble. Due to the rules of Bumble, Danielle had to reach out first. "I like your suits" was the first ever words Danielle had said to Matt. Matt then sent her a link to the suit website where she could buy a matching dress to go with every holiday suit Matt had in his closet. At that point, Matt (and Danielle) knew he found a keeper.

Thanksgiving week, Danielle and Matt set up to meet for their first date. That afternoon, Danielle got a call from Mama Lu "Dan, I just tested positive for covid." The date was cancelled even though Matt said he would risk it to meet her.

Danielle left for Florida a week and half later without meeting Matt. That is where their story really starts. Caroline (Florida Care) made Matt and Danielle facetime for the first time during their quick trip to Disney. They stayed up VERY late talking and getting to know each other. As soon as Danielle got home from her trip, they set up a date to meet in person for the first time. Their first date was to the Light Show at Merriweather. A couple days later, their second date and first kiss was to Ikea, Target, and Chickfila for dinner.

Danielle and Matt knew very quickly that they were with the person they knew could be the one. Matt always brought up marriage where Danielle would step in and say, "after our 1 year."

Danielle and Matt went on many adventures together.

April - Cherry Blossum Festival in Washington DC

June- Nashville, TN to see Caroline & Caroline

October- Salem, OH for Danielle, Mama Lu, and Nana's Birthday

Entering 2022 was VERY eventful! Danielle tested positive for Covid during Christmas. They were quarantined in their room for 7 days which helped them organize and decorate their room to their liking. They spent New Year's weekend with Matt's mom and sister, Katlyn, in Ocean City.

Skipping to their favorite week... Spring Break 2022. Danielle and Matt planned to go to West Palm Beach with Matt's dad, stepmom, and nephew. Little did Danielle know Matt had some big, big plans. Caroline picked the two love birds up from the airport and went to the Jupiter Lighthouse where they met Glen, Vanessa and Braxton.

Danielle, Matt, and the gang walked up 132 steps to the top of the lighthouse. Everyone was so excited to be up there and taking in all the views. They were taking pictures, talking, cheering each other on for making it up. The tour guide yelled out "5 more minutes" when Danielle heard Matt say, "Danielle, I love you so much." Matt said more words than that but neither Matt nor Danielle can remember anything until Matt got down on one knee and said, "Will you marry me?" while pulling out a ring.

Now that everyone is caught up, let's have a wedding!
