Our story began when we met in March 2018 on the online dating site called Hinge. Who knew that one swipe would change our lives forever. We had our first date less than a month after the Philadelphia Eagles won the Super Bowl against the Patriots. Our shared love for the team helped us bond immediately, making the beginning of our story that brought us to today.

In 2021, Leigh Ann moved to Venice, Florida. Matt was in Osprey, only 20 minutes away. It felt like all signs were pointing to LOVE. Living in Florida felt like a dream, we spent our days together soaking up the sun. Our relationship became stronger than ever. We both acknowledged and wanted nothing more than to commit to each other.

Then things changed dramatically for us when Matt enlisted in the US Army and shipped out on July 3, 2023. We both knew we would face unique challenges and obstacles with a long distance relationship. Still, we both knew what we wanted and that was each other! It is true when people say “Distance gives you the opportunity for the heart to grow fonder." One year after leaving for the Army, Matt asked Leigh Ann to marry him and she said absolutely!

We’re both estatic to have this opportunity to celebrate our love with our family and friends on our wedding day. We couldn’t ask for anything better and we are both SO ready to create lifelong memories as husband and wife!
