Our story began, like so many modern romances, with a swipe right in 2023. We, Matt and Andie, connected online and soon found ourselves face-to-face at Isles Buns & Bakery. It was a memorable first date, marked by Matt's questionable choice of a sticky bun (when clearly the cinnamon rolls and puppy dog tails reign supreme!) and the tragically forgotten coffee (he still mentions it).

From that slightly chaotic beginning, something beautiful and undeniable blossomed. Weekends were spent nestled in Andie's Robbinsdale home, surrounded by the furry love of her two dogs, Phoebe and Joey. We quickly became a family, our bond deepening with each shared laugh, movie night, and dog walk. In May of 2024, Matt officially moved in, solidifying what we already knew in our hearts: this was meant to be.

Fast forward to Thanksgiving 2024. A momentous occasion, as Andie finally met Matt's brother (a crucial step towards forever, we'd say!). Just an hour after returning home from the Okner family Thanksgiving, Matt, with a twinkle in his eye, pointed out a lone "A" stocking hanging in our living room. He then "noticed" something inside and encouraged Andie to take a peek. Down on one knee he went, and with a heart overflowing with joy, the answer was a resounding and enthusiastic "YES!" We're so excited to begin this next chapter, surrounded by the love and support of our family and friends.
