The proposal was a well-crafted surprise, in July of 2019, in Burlington, VT at the Waterfront park, after a gorgeous sunset. Matthew waited until their favorite band, "Twiddle", started to sing Kacie's favorite song, and surprised her with the ring. She had picked it out at a small craft table at a festival that Matthew's band played at earlier that month, not knowing that Matthew had purchased it. Originally planning to celebrate the wedding in 2020, the world had different plans. Proudly, Matthew and Kacie are now able to say that this celebration will be hosted with years of careful thought and lots of love.
