Matthew and Helen met while working at Waverley Country Club in high school. They were both caddying and working towards applying for the Evans Caddie Scholarship. Helen earned the scholarship in 2015 and Matthew earned the scholarship in 2016 and they both went to the University of Oregon. As the years went on they became better and better friends. They bonded over Spikeball, Golf, and running various errands for the Evans House over those couple years of college. Eventually they started dating in December of 2018. Fast forward three years to December 2021. Matthew took Helen back to the place he asked her to be his girlfriend out in Colton and got down on one knee to ask her to marry him!
