When Char and Mat first met, there was an instant connection they were both taken back by. Kathleen, Char's roommate, was invited to a party where Char immediately connected with Mat, drawn to his dreadlocks and cold Sierra Nevada amidst everyone drinking cheap beer. Char boldly requested better music, surprising Mat, who was intrigued by her confidence. They bonded over Grateful Dead and Led Zeppelin tunes, and Char even got Mat to let her roll joints! Despite Char's initial mention of a boyfriend, Mat persisted and got her number. After Char's breakup, their texts about Grateful Dead shows turned into something more. Now, they travel the world together, wrapped in a warm, playful love, always smiling big and speaking in the goofiest made up languages together! #Schlonga!
