Through the years and many shared experiences, we never officially met. Finally, in summer 2018, the stars aligned. Thank you to those friends that brought us together. Our first date, to no one's surprise, was boba. That quickly turned into another date, which turned into a whole summer spent together. They continued dating throughout college with Matthew in Irvine and Janet in San Francisco. The pandemic brought Matthew back to the Bay Area, and long distance came to an end. Eventually, we settled into our respective careers and on March 20, 2025 Matthew popped the question!
