Matthew and Anica met at Albertson's, their Senior Year of high school. They both worked there and became friends quickly. Slowly, they started taking lunch breaks together and going on occasional casual dates. They even went to homecoming together. They didn't end up making it official but remained friends. They went off to college and 5 years later, SnapChat rekindled old feelings. They would talk every day, catching up on what was missed and learning about the changes since high school. On October 10, 2014, they went on a friendly date and 2 days later made it official. Since Anica was still in pharmacy school, it was a long distance relationship and even longer when Matthew moved to Wyoming for his new career as a BNSF Conductor. Even with the difficulties of a long distance relationship, they overcame and their love grew stronger. Matthew returned to Clovis, NM in May 2015 and Anica returned May 2017. On January 26, 2018, Matthew got down on one knee and asked Anica to spend the rest of her life with him. She said yes! After exactly 5 years of dating, they will become one in Holy Matrimony.
