On June 29, 2016, Matt approached Kasey in the gym after seeing her with a "Virginia" shirt on. He struck up a conversation about UVA, they hit it off, and he added her on Facebook. After some intense Facebook stalking, by both of us, Matt added Kasey on instagram and asked her to hangout. After a casual gym date and Burrito Perdido, Matt went off to Med School and Kasey stayed in Chesapeake...

Until Kasey arrived in Charlottesville to start her second year of undergrad where she eagerly awaited a Roots date with Matt at 6:30 after arriving in Charlottesville just 30 minutes prior. After a few frozen yogurt dates and Kasey impressing Matt with her skills of waking up at 5:30am to go on a run with him, Matt asked Kasey to be 'his girl' on September 21, 2016. Little did we know that Kasey would become 'his girl' forever just three years later...

Later that weekend on a date to Billy Jacks, Matt turned to Kasey and told her that he loves her on September 25, 2016. During the next few weeks, and months, Matt and Kasey were inseparable, and Kasey knew Matt was the one for her not forever, but fivever.

After countless holidays, Cookout milkshakes, formatives and summatives, work out sessions, Officer Development School, Roots dates, UVA undergrad graduation, and (lots) Med school struggles, Kasey and Matt grew closer, and stronger, and more in love than ever. With Residency matching around the corner and several things to look forward to, the future and forever was inevitable.

One October weekend with both of our families closeby, Matt asked me to grab Roots and enjoy a lunch on the Lawn. After some awkward conversation and Matt's heart racing, we walked to the front of the Rotunda where Matt got down on one knee and asked Kasey to marry him on October 13, 2019!

We celebrated with our families and Kasey has been obsessing over the wedding details ever since- with Matt more so obsessing over the cake and food tastings. We cannot wait for our big day on October 24, 2020 and to spend the rest of our lives loving each other fivever.
