How Everything Started

First comes a dog in a tutu, then neverending conversations

It all started in the bustling world of pharmacy fraternities. Ivonne had heard of Matt before, but it wasn't until they both attended a PDC social that they met for the first time in person. That night, Ivonne brought along her beloved dog, Marina, who was dressed in a tutu - with a bunny in a tutu. Matt couldn't resist and spent the night playing with Marina. However, despite their memorable encounter, that wasn't when they started dating. A couple of years later, their story took another turn at a mutual friend’s birthday dinner. This time, they found themselves engaged in conversation throughout the evening, connecting on a deeper level. After dinner, Ivonne went home to Marina, while Matt continued the night with the group. But Matt was disappointed that Ivonne didn’t stay, as he wanted to keep talking to her. A few days later, Matt worked up the courage to add Ivonne on Snapchat and, in a nervous yet bold move, asked her out on a date. Ivonne said yes, and from that moment, they haven’t spent a single day apart or gone without talking. Their journey together began with that one unforgettable conversation, and it’s been a beautiful adventure ever since. Now, their story has grown even more, as they’ve expanded their family with Marco, a playful little doggie brother for Marina. Together, they’ve built a life full of love, laughter, and unforgettable memories—and they can’t wait to see where their adventure takes them next.
