To our beloved family and friends,

We are so excited to welcome you all to Longboat Key in February and share our special day together!

For those who may not know, our story begins on Craigslist. No, Matt didn't put out an ad for a girlfriend. Veronique's friend Nicole responded to an ad by Matt's friend Sam for a roommate on the Upper East Side of Manhattan. The two began hosting countless parties in October of 2020, where we first met, but didn't think much of it. We remained friends while Matt decided to move back home to his Florida roots for a few months.

When he moved back to New York City in March the next year, we went out to the infamous Wing Wednesday at Overlook and instantly hit it off. After several dates at classy New York establishments like Fish Market and El Rio Grande, we made it official.

Nearly three years later, Matt decided to propose on Longboat Key, near our favorite restaurant Shore. It was the easiest and best decision of our lives and we are so excited for this next chapter.

We could not have gotten to this point without all of your love and support throughout the years. We can't wait to see you all soon!

Love,

Veronique and Matt
