Rachel and Matt first met in the fall of 2010 through mutual friends. Merely acquaintences at first, they bonded over their love of sports (hers field hockey and his soccer), sneaking waves on the adjacent practice fields and attending each others games. It didn't take long for them to realize that their interests spanned well beyond sports and they officially started dating in December 2010! While they only dated for a few months before Rachel headed off to UD, they both knew this was more than just a high school fling. Through the years, they kept in touch making trips to see each other on the weekend in college (an 8 hour journey!) and relishing in summer breaks together in Connecticut. Fast forward ten years and on August 22nd, 2020 Matt proposed to Rachel at the Aquinnah Cliffs Overlook in Martha's Vineyard, one of their favorite vacation spots. They're excited to make it official on September 4th, 2022!
