How It All Began
How We Met
Their story began through a group of friends planning a road trip to Yellowstone. Matt was the last one added to the trip, and what seemed like a simple adventure quietly became the beginning of something unforgettable. After the trip, Matt made the first move, and it quickly became clear that there was something special between them.
The Journey
Since then, their love has grown through friendship, laughter, and shared adventures — from exploring Mauna Kea on the Big Island to countless moments in between. What began unexpectedly soon became the most beautiful part of their lives.
The Proposal
At the stroke of midnight on New Year’s Eve, Matt asked Elpina to spend forever with him — the perfect beginning to their next chapter.
