After dating in high school starting in our senior year, we were separated from each other as we headed off to college in Boston and Indiana. Through four years of occasional weekend visits and lots of phone calls, we managed to stay united as a couple through graduation. Adult life started with more time apart. Matt played hockey in New York, Boston, Milwaukee and Atlanta and Grace moved to Chicago, then Charlotte, NC to work in the fitness industry. When Matt signed with an Italian hockey team in the Alps League he asked Grace to join him for the adventure. A few months after arriving in Italy we got engaged in a beautiful setting in Positano on the Amalfi Coast. Who would have ever thought that a few months later our Italian adventure would end as a global pandemic sent us home to the U.S. We settled in Rochester, NY (Matt's hometown) for the rest of 2020. Matt signed with the Tulsa Oilers so we relocated to Oklahoma for the 2021 hockey season. We are looking forward to a wedding celebration with our beloved family and friends in July.
