We met on April 25, 2014 at a bonfire on the beach at Roger Williams University. Matt saw Emma sitting by the fire but was too shy to come over and say hello. We ended up talking all summer while school was out and started dating on October 1, 2014. We fell in love while attending concerts in Providence, going to the beach, and hanging out on campus. Since then, we have travelled the world and have been to 48 states together. Countless ski trips, music festivals, and breweries later and we knew we wanted to spend our lives together. On July 13, 2020, Matt took Emma out via boat to Water Street, where they had their first real date in 2014. They grabbed some food and took the boat over to cocktail cove, and Matt asked Emma to marry him underneath the most beautiful sunset.
