How They Met

We Found Love in a Hopeless Place

Gina and Matt first met on a Sunday afternoon before Columbus Day in 2021 at a pregame in Gina’s Hoboken apartment. Matt was the quiet guy in the room, and Gina had no idea he would one day become her husband. Later that day, everyone ended up at their favorite bar, Green Rock. Gina noticed Matt looking way too bored for such a lively place and walked over to ask, “Why do you look so miserable?” That one question kicked off their story. After plenty of texting, dates, blocking, unblocking, and one very important Applebee’s dinner, they officially became boyfriend and girlfriend over Columbus Day weekend in 2023. These days, they’ve traded late nights out for cozy nights in with their dog, Macaroni. From that first pregame to now, their love has grown through laughter, friendship, and a lot of fun -and they can’t wait to keep writing the rest of their story together.
