When Elizabeth asks her husband what he thinks of her dogs, he’s not quick to answer, but tells her they’re a bit much. Ultimately, he tells her he’ll get used to it since it’s a dealbreaker for her.
Making Memories

One sweet moment between Matt and Amber included him sharing his personal photos from home, including old school images and more.
