Our story began in October 2023 at Skyla’s family’s annual Halloween party. Skyla was dressed as Ghost Rider, Matt came as Jim Halpert from The Office, and somewhere between the full skeleton makeup (that Skyla committed to wearing all night) and a few rounds of pool, there was definitely a spark.

​​

There was just one problem: Matt thought Skyla had a boyfriend. So, we didn’t talk again until December, when Skyla decided to take matters into her own hands, slid into Matt’s DMs and asked him to dinner. The rest, as they say, is history.

​​

Fast forward to May 2026, when Matt proposed on the beach in Aruba during Skyla’s family vacation. From Halloween costumes and a few rounds of pool to a proposal on the beach, we can’t wait for our next chapter together as husband and wife on May 1, 2027.
