It was during a hot summer in 2021 when Jordyn matched with a stranger named Matthew Hanson on the dating app called Hinge. Matt bravely asked Jordyn to a cup of coffee to get to know each other better. Before the date, Jordyn was a little nervous and obviously wanted to make a good impression. She was worried about what to wear and had to get confirmation from her sisters and father that she looked good! Jordyn decided on a red and pink floral skirt that Matt still remembers to this day. Matt was nervously brainstorming conversation starters to make sure he could impress Jordyn. They met up at Firstwatch but it was too busy so they decided to go to McLain’s Bakery. Jordyn walked up and noticed Matt was dressed very nice for the occasion. They sat outside with their food and coffee for 2 hours having easy conversation. Matt then told Jordyn that he has to let the dog out, which she took as a sign he wanted to go. However, it was because he really had to let the dog out. He sent her a picture later of his dog and a kiddie pool. This guy was for real. They continued to see each other for a few months. The first month Matt asked Jordyn to be his girlfriend. She kindly declined but wanted to still see where things could go. The second month Matt asked again, hoping Jordyn would change her answer. But, Jordyn disappointed him yet again. The third month, it only took Jordyn’s sister Jenna to finally make them official. They visited Jenna’s college house to spend time with her before Halloween. Jenna did not know how to introduce Matt to her friends so she decided it was time they were official and introduced him as Jordyn’s boyfriend. Matt’s persistence paid off! The rest is history….just kidding. Matt and Jordyn spent the next year traveling in Missouri and Colorado as well as spending time together at home. They made many memories visiting wineries, attending weddings, celebrating birthdays, and living life. They introduced each other to their families and have spent lots of time together. Matt quickly realized that Jordyn was his partner for life and he felt he was ready for the next step. A little over a year after becoming official they were engaged! Matt planned a surprise proposal with the help of his and Jordyn’s friends and family. They now own a house and give a home to Matt’s dog Casey. They are looking forward to celebrating their love with all of you on April 27, 2024. Cheers to Hinge and forever!
