Jenna and Matt's story began in September 2018, when they met shortly after Matt had moved to Maryland. On their first date, Jenna introduced Matt to her favorite local pizza, a memorable meal whose receipt he unknowingly kept—a small keepsake that remains pinned to a memento board at home.

A few months later, Jenna adopted a two-month-old puppy named Merida. Despite his initial claims of not being a "dog person," Matt fell in love with her just as much as he had with her owner. In the years since, Jenna, Matt, and Merida have shared their lives and built a home together.

Jenna and Matt's relationship has grown through countless milestones and challenges: navigating PA school, supporting each other's career paths, enduring a global pandemic, and moving six times—including one cross-country journey.

In July 2024, during a trip to Colorado, Matt proposed and Jenna happily accepted. Shortly after, Jenna and Matt moved across the country to Arvada, Colorado, and moved one last time three months later, finally settling into their new home.

As we continue to explore our new surroundings, we are excited to begin our next chapter together.
