Matthew and I first met in 2015, at our sister's softball tournament in Aurora. We began talking at softball tournaments and became friends soon after. But, living over an hour away, we didn't see each other often and mostly kept in touch through text. Over the years, we would see each other at family get togethers, parties, boat days on the lake, and annual JRs (Jorissen and Robb) vacations.

Finally, in 2023, our timing aligned and as I was entering my senior year of college, we began dating. In May of 2024, Matthew surprised me by taking me to Nederland, CO, as a post-graduation, mini vacation. Matthew kept the surprises going when he proposed to me on the trip on May 11th.

We are beyond excited for our special day and getting to spend the rest of our lives together!
