Engagement
On January 5, 2014, I got engaged to my best friend. I would love to go into a bunch of details, however, I have short clip that I think is much better. I have our engagement clip and our celebration at dinner clip as well. We got engaged in Cancun, Mexico. I hope you enjoy the clip :)
P.S. please excuse my fatness.
How We Met
We never would have met had it not been for a mutual friend, Kimmy Rentuma.
Ali and Kimmy were good friends since high school where they both were active in sports. Ali played field hockey and Kimmy was on the Volleyball team. Matt and Kimmy knew each other from the local bowling alley, where Matt and Kimmy both bowled at. A few months after, Kimmy, Matt & Ali graduated from high school in 2008; Kimmy planned a day trip to Kings Dominion Adventure Park.
On August 5, 2008 Kimmy, Bobby (Kimmy’s boyfriend), Matt and Ali all met at Kimmy’s house to get ready for a fun day at Kings Dominion. Ali and Matt were “riding buddies” for the day. The drive up was very silent because it was 8 in the morning and everyone was still tired from the night before. Once we arrived at the park, Ali and Matt were inseparable. They talked for hours and hours just getting to know each other. It was a great day, plus at the time Ali and Matt were both single so that was a plus as well.
At the end of the night Matt bought Ali a pair of light-up sunglasses which Ali still has till this day. A token of their first day together; after the park, Matt and Ali exchanged phone numbers to keep in touch. Two days later, it was Ali’s 18thbirthday as she was celebrating with family and friends; she received a text message from Matt, wishing her a Happy 18th Birthday. This text message was extremely special to Ali because she didn’t think Matt would remember her birthday.
For a few months, Ali and Matt continued to talk through texts messages and MySpace. When fall semester started at Anne Arundel Community College in August, Ali was surprised to see that Matt was in the same English class after her. So after class, Ali and Matt would be able to see each other and talk for a bit before heading to the next class. On October 31, 2008 Matt and Ali had their first official date. They went to Muvico Egyptian 24 Theatre, and saw the Haunting of Molly Hartley.
After that first official date, Matt and Ali have been together ever since. They will celebrate their 6th years together on August 5, 2014 J
So excited for you!!
