Lily and Matthew met at the University of Colorado, Boulder freshman year in Sewall hall. After having math class together and a few business school classes together freshman year, they formed a friendship that continued throughout their college experiences. They spent many mountain weekends together, lots of game days and experienced Greek life at CU. After almost 4 years of friendship, Matthew decided to make his move on Lily. Their friendship grew into a relationship in the spring of 2016. After graduating, Matthew moved to San Diego and Lily to Newport Beach. Many weekends were spent driving back and forth to each other's new homes to enjoy quality time with friends and family. After living in California for 3.5 years they were missing the mountains, family and friends so they decided to move back to Colorado in September 2019. With lots of work from home flexibility, Lily and Matthew had a week-long trip planned in May 2021 to go to San Diego. After an electric start to the weekend when their plane got struck by lightning, Matthew proposed nearly 24 hours after at Little Point, a spot they have watched sunset at many of times. Lily and Matthew continue to shape their relationship with their love of new experiences, the great outdoors, travel, food (fries for Matt) and good times with the people they love. They are excited to meet you in Vail, Colorado for the big day!!
