It's happening!

It's a typical love story. After months of Matt trying to court Barbara on their college campus, they had a fortuitous run-in at an off-campus event at an awful Broadway play - American Idiot. From that moment on sparks flew!

After being together for 10+ years, it's no surprise that this day would come! Barbara & Matt were planning their first trip abroad together to London & Ireland for the end of March 2020. Barbara had a hunch that Matt might've had something up his sleeve. March came along and so did COVID, so the trip was canceled. Before they hunkered down to start quarantine, Matt & Barbara took one last stop at the grocery store to stock up on food and essentials (Miller Lites). Once they returned to their apartment, Barbara started to clean out and stock their fridge. They obviously needed to take out the champagne bottle that was being chilled, so there could be more room for the groceries. Barbara poured 2 glasses, turned around and Matt was down on one knee! Barbara was in complete and utter shock, mainly because she was in yoga pants and an old band t-shirt (which has a rat eating mayo on it). But of course, she said YES! Over the next 7, 8, 9 (eternity)? months Matt & Barbara spent every waking moment together and with their new pup, Winston!
