Their story began in the digital realm in June of 2021, a chance encounter on a random dating app sparked a connection that defied the odds. A serendipitous swipe right on a dating app led to virtual conversations that flowed easily, filled with shared passions for travel, rescue dogs, and terrible puns. Their first date, a dinner at Longhorns, solidified their connection.

By September, their online chemistry translated beautifully into real-life dates filled with laughter, shared dreams, and comfortable honesty. Over the next two and a half years, their love blossomed.

Fast forward to March 10th, 2024. The turquoise waters of Bimini, Bahamas shimmered behind them as Matthew, heart pounding, dropped to one knee near the sugar-white sand. Tears welled in Justin’s eyes as he could only manage a choked “Really?” before a joyous "Yes!".

News of their engagement sent a wave of joy through their families and friends! The King and Prince on St. Simons Island was a natural choice for their wedding. The historic hotel, with its elegant charm and proximity to the ocean, mirrored the timeless nature of their love.

And now, on June 7, 2025, with the ocean breeze carrying the scent of salt air, Justin and Matthew will stand hand-in-hand, and finally say "I do." With a lifetime of adventures ahead, they will be ready to face them together, stronger and more in love than ever.
