Mat and Ella matched on a dating app on Christmas Day in 2021. Their first date was at a bar in Boulder, Colorado. They had such a great time together that when the bar closed at 9pm, they spent another 2 hours walking the streets of downtown Boulder in the freezing cold! After many more long and adventurous dates, they figured they should make it official. The past 3+ years together have been filled with countless happy memories including hiking and camping around the US, playing (sometimes overly competitive) board games, discovering delicious restaurants in our hometown, traveling the world together and finding new favorite destinations (like Switzerland!), putting on our chefs hats and cooking our favorite dinner recipes, testing the limits of our creative abilities with drunk painting, and Mat trying to teach Ella how to ski (she's still getting the hang of it).
