We met in high school, through mutual friends and marching band. We started dating the beginning of our senior year of high school. After that, we both attended Rutgers University, and dated throughout our time in college (with, of course, a few bumps on the road). After that, we each started our careers, struggled through the challenges together, adopted out fur-baby, Halo, a female German Shepherd, from the shelter in 2016, and were finally able to move in together in 2017. Two years later, after finding out that we didn't totally kill each other, Matt proposed on May 10, 2019 on Mt. Haleakala in Hawaii. We plan to get married on May 22, 2021.
