Engaged June 29, 2024 – Alys Beach, Florida
Ellie and Matt officially tied the knot with a ceremony in Alys Beach on February 8, 2025.
“The Saturday before July 4, we were supposed to go to a party at his sister’s house that we had stayed in town for before heading down to the beach. Before the party, he asked me to go outside for a drink in the courtyard of our apartment complex. When we got outside, there were flowers and champagne, which I had no idea were for us until I turned around and saw him on a knee. I was in shock! As it turned out, the party was really for us and both of our families were at his sister’s house when we got there. We had the best day and ended the night with a private room for dinner at one of my favorite restaurants, Chops. It truly couldn’t have been a more perfect day and the best week soaking it all in at the beach.” – Ellie
