Welcome to Our Wedding Website!

We met at McFadden's Citi Field before the Mets' home opener on April 1, 2013. Matt and some friends went into the bar where Ariel was working and, thanks to a terrible waitress who was fired on her very first day, we started talking when Ariel brought them a round of drinks on the house. We flirted until just before first pitch when he went into the stadium to watch the game. To Ariel's surprise, he came back into the bar after the game, and we celebrated the win together for the rest of the night. Matt won her over with his dance moves and they had their first date later on that week.

Ariel sipped wine on their couch, listening to music while waiting impatiently for Matt to finish getting ready to meet Katie and his parents for dinner on a Saturday night. At the end of one song, their song (slickly played by Matt without Ariel's knowledge), a cover of "I'm Gonna Be (500 Miles)," came on and Matt walked into the living room and asked Ariel to dance. Before she knew it, he was on one knee, asking her to marry him. She said yes, and they went off to the restaurant where he had her mom waiting as another surprise to celebrate. They flew to Paris the following week for more celebrations.
