Becca and Matt met briefly during freshman year at Fordham through club soccer and mutual friends. One night freshman year, they met off campus at a party and Matt walked her home. He waited on a bench outside in freezing cold weather while she "took care of her roommate who was sick." It turns out her roommate was out of town, and she was politely trying to ditch Matt. Fast forward to sophomore year, Becca went up and talked to Matt at a party about their respective club soccer teams and they ended up hanging out on benches around campus most nights during the first month back at school. They then made a bet which Matt lost and "had to" take Becca out to dinner. Trying to be different, Matt booked a reservation at an Indian restaurant in midtown Manhattan, but when they sat down, no one else was in the restaurant besides the one waiter who was hovering over them the entire time and refilled their waters after every sip. Trying to save this awkward first date, Becca suggested walking to see the Rockefeller Christmas tree and getting ice cream (shoutout Ben & Jerry's in Times Square). Needless to say, it was a memorable first date, and they try every year to take a picture in front of a Christmas tree as a tradition. Matt asked Becca to be his girlfriend on December 18th, 2017, not December 17th like Becca still likes to believe, and have been dating ever since. They have been there for each other through life's moments of both heartbreak and celebration, including many travels and memories with friends and family. They currently live in Santa Monica and look forward to the rest of life's adventures, including the one starting on September 5, 2025.
