In the summer of 2018, Matt and Liz both happened to be living in Prairie Village, Kansas. Thanks to a bit of Tinder magic, they matched, and Matt took the initiative to send the first message. After some conversation, Matt invited Liz to meet for a drink at Blue Moose in the Village. As the date approached, Liz considered canceling, but Matt’s persistence and charm convinced her to stop by for a quick drink before her other commitment that evening. Their connection was instant, and from that moment on, their story began to unfold.
