Bethany and Matt first crossed paths during their junior year at Bryant University. They were fortunate to secure spots in senior housing—specifically, the townhouses—even though they were only juniors. During the first weekend back on campus, Bethany and Matt were both prepping for Around The World - one of Bryant’s largest events, celebrating the return of all students back to campus. Bethany was out helping a friend set up for the weekend when she returned to find Matt outside of the adjoining townhouse to hers. She cheerfully greeted him with, “Hi Neighbor!”. As they introduced themselves, they realized they were among the few juniors living in senior housing, so of course they had to become friends. They hung out at Around The World and discovered they shared a ton of mutual friends. They easily became best friends and officially began dating in January 2017.
