Like all good love stories, the first chapter in the Book of Mattherine is centered around food. After sitting together at lunch on the first day of work, Matt made a great impression by taking Katherine on their first date to a restaurant that didn't exist. Some quick thinking from Katherine saved the day, resulting in the best date either had ever been on full of food, ice cream, sunsets, and accidental blues concerts. They've spent the next 6+ years discovering how perfect for one another they each are. From harrowing drives in Hawaii and beautiful beaches in Cancun, to dealing with furnace outages in -50 degree Madison winters and lightning-struck trees landing on their home, there was never a doubt that Matt and Katherine were an inseparable team. In September 2019, Matt and Katherine went to Lake Geneva- Katherine's favorite place on Earth- for Matt’s first triathlon. While there, a nice man trying (and failing) to park his boat got to witness two people agree to spend the rest of their lives together, when Katherine accepted Matt's proposal with a beautiful lakeside sunset in the background. We are excited to celebrate with all of you (finally) in December!
