We both graduated from Archbishop Ryan High School in 2015, but funny enough, we were never actually friends during those four years - even though our paths kept intertwining. We each played sports with the other's siblings, yet somehow never even exchanged a "hi!" From Matt's perspective, he likes to joke that we didn't cross paths because Michelle was in the "smart classes." After college and trade school, our mutual friends constantly told us how perfect we'd be together (turns out, they were right). They tried to set us up more than once, but it never seemed to stick. That is, until a little back and forth on Instagram DMs led us to "coincidentally" meet up at a local Northeast Philly dive bar on a Sunday funday. From that day on, we've pretty much been inseparable.
