How We Met
We met on the 'Dem Lean Back Boys' flag football team in Washington DC. Jules was a star receiver and Matt was always late. After bonding over football (and Clemson handing Miami their worst loss in school history...) we built a friendship that blossomed into a relationship.
The Proposal
As an active and outdoorsy couple that can no longer keep up with the 20-somethings playing flag football in the city, we took on new hobbies such as hiking, backpacking, and sailing (A Foster Family tradition). On a beautiful Friday night in July, 2021, Matt convinced Jules to do our first sunset sail at our pier in Edgewater, Maryland. After a successful sail in perfect weather, Matt delivered a very passionate speech about how excited and honored he was to take the next step in life together (finally!).
