Our Wedding

<p>	Matthew &amp; Jacqueline began talking in April of 2021 on a dating app called OkCupid. Jacqueline and Matthew had both swiped right on each other and Jacqueline reached out to Matthew first, starting a conversation. Shortly after the conversation began they exchanged numbers in order to establish an easier method of communication. After about 2 months of talking, Matthew decided to ask Jacqueline out on a date. They went out on their first date in June of 2021 to a restaurant called the Taphouse in Hackettstown NJ. After 5 dates, Matthew decided to make it official and ask Jacqueline to be his girlfriend on August 12, 2021.</p><p>	After about a week of dating, Matthew had met Jacqueline's parents and brought her father an IPA and her mother flowers. After two weeks of dating, Jacqueline had met Matthew's parents and brought his father Bourbon and his mother flowers. Thankfully Jacqueline’s parents had quickly approved of Matthew and Matthew’s parents had quickly approved of Jacqueline. On December 18th, 2021 Jacqueline had told Matthew that she loved him and he immediately said that he loved her too. Every year from then on Matthew &amp; Jacqueline have gone on their anniversary trip to Cove Haven in the Poconos. After a year of dating things started to get a bit more serious and Jacqueline was at Matthew's place nearly every weekend. Once they reached the second year, Jacqueline spent the majority of the week at Matthew's place. In November of 2023, Jacqueline and Matthew had taken a big step and Jacqueline moved in with Matthew. After many date nights, family trips, memories, etc. In October of 2024, Matthew had asked Jacqueline’s father for her hand in marriage and he happily said yes to Matthew. Shortly after Matthew went shopping with Jacqueline’s friend, Alicia, and bought an engagement ring. Matthew proposed to Jacqueline at a Hibachi restaurant on December 14th, 2024. Jacqueline and Matthew are looking forward to their future and the commitment of marriage on July 2, 2026.</p>
