How We Met

First comes school, then comes marriage

We met on OKCupid (in 2012, the days before Tinder) while we were both at Penn State in grad school. We met at the Deli, which was closed, and moved on to Inferno for a beer. For the next 6 years in State College, we kept trying to go to the Deli, and we were always disappointed, but damnit we kept trying anyway. We started dating while Matt was in Boston for an internship because we were so excited. We moved in together before Caroline's last semester in grad school, not sure what would happen after graduation. Caroline searched for a job nearby to stay with Matt in State College, and we did a lot of bar trivia and lunch at places that are not open anymore. While Matt worked on his PhD, nearly every restaurant in State College turned over, except for the Deli. We moved to our own apartment together in 2015 with the cat, Bina, and added a puppy, Zipper, in 2017. Matt proposed on a mountain at sunset with the new puppy in tow, so that we could start our planning our life post grad school. Matt defended his thesis, we went to the Deli one last time, and we moved to Philly, where Caroline is happily writing this story now.
