On May, 15th 2016, Matthew and myself "matched" on Tinder, which is an online dating website. After spending endless hours texting and talking on the phone, we had our first date planned. Matthew traveled to my neck of the woods to dine out on Mexican and go to a concert. Within about one week, we were on our first date to a Jake Owen concert in Herrin, Illinois. We immediately clicked and planned several more dates after that. On March, 19th, 2017, Matthew proposed in his living room. The rest is history!
