In the age of technology and global pandemics, Ellie and Matt were doomed to seek love on dating apps. Luckily, one app in particular (Hinge) would lead them to one another. After an 8 hour first date in late January 2021, they knew their weirdness was a perfect, albeit strange, fit!

Ever since their first date, Seven Story Brewing held a special place in Ellie and Matt's hearts. It made perfect sense that Matt would take Ellie back there to ask her to spend the rest of their lives together. What didn't make as much sense was that he did it outside. In the cold. At night.

Despite all that, he played one of Ellie's favorite songs called "Crowded Table" for her on the guitar (even though she had to hold his phone so he could read the lyrics he hadn't memorized yet) and asked her to marry him. She said YES!! They both scream-cried at each other for a full minute. Afterwards they enjoyed their first dinner as fiancés at Good Luck.
